Question

A can of soup has the shape of a cylinder.

The diameter of the base of the can is
3.4 inches, and the height of the can is
4.5 inches. What is the volume of the can
rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic
inch?

Answer 1

The answer is 40.8

Explanation:

The volume of a cone equals the area of a circle multiplied by the height

`v = \pi * {r}^(2) * h \\ = 3.14 * 1.7 * 1.7 * 4.5 \\ = 40.8`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Height h = 4.5 inches

Radius r = 3.4/2 = 1.7 inches

Area of base = πr² = 2.89π square inches

Volume of cylinder = πr²h = 2.89π4.5 = 13.0 cubic inches
