A manufacturing plant wants to minimize the amount of material used to produce paint containers. The
project team has the task of designing a container to hold 19 litres (5 gallons) of paint. The team suggests
three des igns, Design I, Design II and Design Ill.

(a) Express the vo lume of paint in m3
