Question

Find the volume of a beverage can that has a height of 8.8 in. and a diameter of 3.6 in. Use 3.14 as an approximation

Answer 1

90 in^3

Explanation:

volume of a cylinder (assuming the can is a perfect cylinder)

`\pi \: {r}^(2) h`

r = 1/2 x 3.6 = 1.8

1.8^2 = 3.24

3.24 x 8.8 x 3.14 = 89.52768 in^3 = 90 in^3 (1 sig. fig)

this is about 50 fluid ounces
