# The Capacity of a Closed Cylindrical Vessel of Height 1 M is 15.4 Litres. How Many Square Metres of Metal Sheet Would Be Needed to Make It? - Mathematics

Sum

The capacity of a closed cylindrical vessel of height 1 m is 15.4 litres. How many square metres of metal sheet would be needed to make it?

#### Solution

Given data is as follows:

Volume of the cylinder = 15.4 litres

h = 1m

We have to find the area of the sheet required to make this cylinder.

We know that 1 liter = 1000 cm3

Therefore, 15.4 liters = 15400 cm3

Also, h = 1m

=100cm

We know that,

Volume = pir^2h

Therefore,

pir^2h =15400

22/7 xx r^2 xx 100 = 15400

r = 7cm

Now, using this radius we have to find the Total Surface Area.

Total Surface Area = 2pi rh + 2 pi r^2

= 2 xx 22/7 xx 7xx100+2xx22/7xx7xx7

total surface area = 4708 cm
