This is a question in one of the foundation quizzes.
If there’s a cuboid of dimensions 8 by 10 by 12, doesn’t that mean that 8 is the length, 10 is the breadth and 12 is the height of the cuboid?
What I did to solve this is, the height of the cylinder would remain the same - that is, 12. But the radius should be the minimum of 8 and 10, so it should be 4. Therefore, I got 62.8 ~ 63 percent as the answer.
However, Greg here does radius as the minimum of 10 and 12, considers radius to be 5 and height to be 8.
How do I know which one is the height and which to consider the base?
I understand the concept, but I don’t understand what the height should be. Can someone explain please?
Sorry, I got it. We need to find the largest possible cylinder, so we consider 10 and 12. I am not able to delete the post, so I am replying to the same post - Solved.
