Answer:

325.15 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The soft drink can is in the shape of a cylinder.


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume of a cylinder}=\pi r^2h \\ r=\text{radius} \\ h=\text{height} \end{gathered}

From the statement,

Diameter = 11.5 cm


\text{Radius}=(Diameter)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3\operatorname{cm}

If we then substitute the values into the formula, we have:


\begin{gathered} \text{Volume}=\pi*3^2*11.5 \\ =325.15\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}
