Question

3. A cylindrical can has a height of 5 inches and adiameter of 4 inches. What is the approximatevolume of the can?A. 20 cubic inchesB. 100 cubic inchesC. 200 cubic inchesD. 314 cubic inches

Answer 1

Given a cylinder with

Height = 5 in

Diameter = 4in

We want to determine the volume of the cylinder.

`\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ of cylinder = }\pi r^2h \\ Where\text{ r=radius, h=height } \end{gathered}`
`For\text{ this question, r=}(4)/(2)=2inches`
`\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ = }\pi(2^2)(5) \\ Volume=\text{ 62.84cubic inches} \end{gathered}`

The volume of the of the can is 62.84 cubic inches
