Question

a container that holds sugar is shaped like a cylinder the radius of the container is 3 in and a height of the container is 10.5 in which measurement is closest to the volume of the container in cubic inches

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder with radis r and height h is

`\pi r^2h`

Replacing r=3, and h=10.5 we obtain

`V=(3.14)(3)^2(10.5)=296.73`

the closest of the volume of sugar in cubic inches is then 296.
