Jonas has to decide which container to use to collect rain water. He can either use a cyclindrical container with diameter 1 m and height 1 m or a rectangular container with base 0,8 m by 0,8 m and a height 2m. 1.calculate which container has a larger volume. Give the volume to the nearest litre. Use the following information: Volume of a cylinder = π x (radius)^2 x height, where π=3.14. Volume of a rectangular prism = length x breadth x height 1 m^3 = 1000 litres.
Cylinders
A cylinder is a three-dimensional solid shape with two parallel and congruent circular bases, joined by a curved surface at a fixed distance. A cylinder has an infinite curvilinear surface.
Cones
A cone is a three-dimensional solid shape having a flat base and a pointed edge at the top. The flat base of the cone tapers smoothly to form the pointed edge known as the apex. The flat base of the cone can either be circular or elliptical. A cone is drawn by joining the apex to all points on the base, using segments, lines, or half-lines, provided that the apex and the base both are in different planes.
