A closed cylindrical tank, made of thin iron-sheet, has diameter = 8.4 m and height 5.4 m. How much metal sheet, to the nearest m2, is used in making this tank, if 115\dfrac{1}{15} of the sheet actually used was wasted in making the tank ?

Answer

Radius of cylindrical vessel = 8.42\dfrac{8.4}{2} = 4.2 m.

Total surface area of cylindrical vessel = 2πr(h + r)

= 2 × 227\dfrac{22}{7} × 4.2 × (5.4 + 4.2)

= 2 × 22 × 0.6 × 9.6

= 253.44 m2.

Given,

115\dfrac{1}{15} of the sheet actually used was wasted in making the tank.

∴ Sheet wasted in making the tank = 115×253.44\dfrac{1}{15} \times 253.44 = 16.896 m2.

Total sheet used = 253.44 + 16.896 cm2 = 270.336 m2.

Hence, total iron sheet used = 270.34 m2.
