Question

Emily is making a meal for her family. She uses coconut milk for the dessert she is making.

The coconut milk is in a can but she doesn’t know how much the can holds.

The can is 12 cm high and the diameter is 8 cm.

Using the formula V = π r2 h, work out how much coconut milk is in the can.

Use 3 as a value for π.
Give your answer using the correct units.

Answer 1

576 cm^3

Explanation:

Express this volume formula as V = π r^2 h, where the " ^ " symbol indicates exponentiation. Substitute 4 for r (this is half the diameter), 12 cm for h, and 3 for π: V = 3*(4)^2*12 cm^3, or V = 576 cm^3.
