A come of height 7 cm and base radius 3 cm is curved from a rectangular block of wood 10 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm. The percentage of wood wasted is?

Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm 3 = 100 cm 3 Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm 3 = 66 cm 3 % of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %

Question

Accepted Answer

Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm³
= 100 cm³
Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm³
= 66 cm³
% of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %
