A cylindrical container has a base radius of 14cm and height 18cm. How many litres of liquid can it hold? correct to the nearest litre [Take (pi = frac{22}{7})]
-
A.
11 -
B.
14 -
C.
16 -
D.
18
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
Volume of cylinder = (pi r^2 h)
= (frac{22}{7} times 14^2) x 14 x 18 = 22 x 28 x 18
= 11088cm3
1000cm3 = (frac{1}{1000}) x 11088cm3
= 11.088
= 11
