Question

A container that holds flour is shaped

like a cylinder. The radius of the
container is 4 inches, and the height
of the container is 12.5 inches.
Which measurement is closest to the
volume of the container in cubic
inches?

Answer 1

To find the volume of a cylinder, we can use the formula V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.

Let's plug in the values:

V = π(4^2)(12.5)

Now let's calculate:

V ≈ 3.14 * 16 * 12.5

V ≈ 628 cubic inches

So, the closest measurement to the volume of the container is 628 cubic inches.
