Question

A can of peas has a height of 6 inches and a radius of 3 inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the can?

Answer 1

54π in³

Explanation:

Using the formula V=πr²h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height, we can calculate the volume. We know the radius is 3 inches, and 3² is 9. The height is given, as 6 inches. We can substitute these into the equation like so:

V=π*9*6

We know 9*6 is 54, so we can simplify this.

V=π*54

Then, we have to multiply pi and 54. Because pi is never-ending, we can leave the solution to the equation as 54π in³.

Answer 2

V = 54π OR V = 169.56 in³

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V=πr²h, where r is the radius, and h is the height.

Now, let's use this formula to find the volume of the can of peas:

V = π · (3)² · 6

V = π · 9 · 6

V = 54π

If you want to substitute 3.14 for π, the answer is:

V = 54 · 3.14 = 169.56 in³
