For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a cylinder is given by:


V = \pi * r ^ 2 * h

Where:

A: It's the radio

h: It's the height

We have according to the data:


r = 4 \ in\\h = 15 \ in

Substituting:


V = \pi * (4) ^ 2 * 15\\V = \pi * 16 * 15\\V = \pi * 240\\V = 753.6 \ in

Thus, the volume of the paint can is 753.6 cubic inches.

Answer:


V = 753.6 \ in^3
