Question

Yao drains the oil from his motorbike into two identical cuboids with rectangular bases of width 10  cm and length 40  cm. The height of each cuboid is 5  cm.

The oil from the motorbike fills the first cuboid completely and the second cuboid to a height of 2  cm. The information is shown in the following diagram.

Calculate the volume of oil drained from Yao’s motorbike.

a.

Yao then pours all the oil from the cuboids into an empty cylindrical container. The height of the oil in the container is 30  cm.

Find the internal radius, r , of the container.
