The Giant Soup Can Puzzle
The real soup
can has dimensions of 10 cm (height) and 3.5 cm (radius). So the ratio of its height
to radius is 10/3.5
My bike (as an
average bike) has length of 175cm. Based on the picture, it seems that the
length of the tank is 2.5 times longer than the length of the bike.
So the length
of the tank is estimated to be 2.5*175= 437.5 cm ~ 4.30 m
Using the above
ratio, the tank’s radius is estimated to be 150 cm ~ 1.5 m.
Thus, the
volume of the tank is estimated to be 30 m3.
