Hi there,
I have been stuck on this question: a paintbrush is 30cm long. It just fits diagonally inside a cylindrical paint tin. The tin is 24 cm high. What is the capacity of the tin to the nearest litre?
I understand that I will need to find the diameter and then the radius of the cylinder in order to answer this question, but I have no idea where to start.
