High school · ●○○○○ 10 pts

A tin can has a rectangular base of length 5 cm5\ \mathrm{cm} and width 4 cm4\ \mathrm{cm}, and height 15 cm15\ \mathrm{cm}. A plastic cylinder has a circular base of diameter 7 cm7\ \mathrm{cm} and height 10 cm10\ \mathrm{cm}. Use π≈227\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}. By how many cm3\mathrm{cm}^3 is the capacity of the plastic cylinder greater than the capacity of the tin can?
