Question 12 Mensuration Exercise 17.2

A conical pit of top diameter 3.5 m is 12 m deep. What is its capacity in kiloliters ?

Answer:

Solution:

Consider a cone with a height of "h" and a circular base with radius "r." This cone's volume will be equal to one-third of the base's area multiplied by its height.

Given diameter, d = 3.5 m

So radius, r = 3.5/2 = 1.75

Depth, h = 12 m

Volume of the cone = (1/3)π r2h

=(1/3)×(22/7)×1.752×12

= (22/7)× 1.752×4

= 38.5 m3

= 38.5 kilolitres [1 kilolitre = 1m3]

Hence the volume of the conical pit is 38.5 kilolitres. M L Aggarwal - Understanding ICSE Mathematics - Class 10 chapter Mensuration Question 12 Solution image
