What is the radius and volume of a cylindrical vessel with a circumference of 132 cm and height of 25 cm?

To find the radius and volume of the cylindrical vessel, we will use the given circumference and height along with the formula for the volume of a cylinder.

i. Finding the Radius

The formula for the circumference (C) of a cylinder is given by:

C = 2 × π × r

Where:

  • C = Circumference
  • r = Radius
  • π is approximately 22/7 as per the problem statement

Given that the circumference is 132 cm, we set up the equation:

132 = 2 × (22/7) × r

Simplifying this, we can isolate r:

132 = (44/7) × r

Now, multiplying both sides by 7 to eliminate the fraction:

924 = 44 × r

Dividing both sides by 44 gives us:

r = 924 / 44 = 21 cm

ii. Finding the Volume

Now that we have the radius, we can calculate the volume (V) of the cylinder using the formula:

V = π × r2 × h

Where:

  • V = Volume
  • h = Height of the cylinder (25 cm)

Substituting the known values:

V = (22/7) × (21)2 × 25

Calculating (21)2 first:

441.

Now, substituting back into the volume equation:

V = (22/7) × 441 × 25

Calculating 441 × 25:

11025.

Now substituting in:

V = (22/7) × 11025

Calculating that gives:

V = 34650 / 7 = 4950 cm3

Therefore, the radius of the cylindrical vessel is 21 cm and the volume is 4950 cm3.
