5 A conical shaped glass vessel of base radius r cm and high 12 cm was
kept as shown in the figure and filled with water.
(i) Show that the volume of water in the glass vessel 4r2 cm3
(ii) The water in the vessel is now poured into an empty
cubic shaped vessel that has a square base side a cm.
The water fills the cubic shaped vessel up to a height
of b cm. show that
a2 =
(iii) Taking that 4 = 12.56, r = 9.57 and b = 18 and using logarithmic tables, fin
the value of a2 to the nearest whole number and then obtain the value of a
