  1. A semicircular sheet of metal of diameter 28 cm is bent into an open conical cup. The capacity of the cup (taking π = 22/7) is
    1. 624.26 cm³
    2. 622.38 cm³
    3. 622.56 cm³
    4. 623.20 cm³
Correct Option: B

Let the radius of the base of cup be r cm, 2πr = π × 14
π r = 7 cm
Slant height = 14 cm;
Height = √14² - 7⊃ = √21 × 7
= 7√3 cm

∴ Capacity of cup =
1
πr²h
