A rectangular parallelepiped is circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius is 5

A rectangular parallelepiped is circumscribed about a cylinder whose base radius is 5. The height of the cylinder is 7. Find the volume of the parallelepiped.

Since a rectangular parallelepiped is circumscribed around a cylinder, the base of this cylinder is a circle inscribed in the base of this parallelepiped.

Thus, the base of a rectangular parallelepiped is a square, the side of which is equal to the diameter of the circle.

Therefore, the area of the base of the rectangular parallelepiped is:

S = (5 + 5) ² = 100.

Since the height of the cylinder is equal to the height of the parallelepiped described around it, the volume of the parallelepiped will be equal to:

V = 100 * 7 = 700.
