If a paint can holds 2.5 litres, whats the radius of the can if it has a height of 20 cm?

2.5L(1000cm^3/L)=2500cm^3

V=hπr^2

r^2=V/(hπ)

r=√(V/(hπ)), and V=2500 and h=20cm so

r=√(2500/(20π))

r=√(125/π) cm

r≈6.3cm (to nearest tenth of a cm)

Hello!

2.5 litres = 1,000 * 2.5 = 2,500 cubic cm

volume = π * radius2 * height

2,500 = π * r2 * 20


2,500 / 20π = r^2


(Square Root of) 2,500 / 20π = r^2


6.307 centimeters = r (Radius)

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)
