Given:

Height of cone = 36 cm

Height of cylinder = 24 cm

Diameter = 14 cm ⇒ Radius = 7 cm

Formula used:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × r2 × h

Volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h

Total volume = Volume of cone + Volume of cylinder

Calculation:

Volume of cone = (1/3) × (22/7) × 72 × 36 = (1/3) × (22/7) × 49 × 36

⇒ = (22 × 49 × 36) / (3 × 7) = 38808 / 21 = 1848 cm³

Volume of cylinder = (22/7) × 72 × 24 = (22/7) × 49 × 24

⇒ = (22 × 49 × 24) / 7 = 25872 / 7 = 3696 cm³

Total volume = 1848 + 3696 = 5544 cm³

∴ Volume of the solid = 5544 cm³
