Question

The diameter of a can of tomatoes is 9 cm and the height is 16 cm. Find the volume. Use = 3.14. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

`1017.9cm^3`

Explanation:

`V= volume\\r= 4.5 cm\\h= 16cm \\pi =3.14\\`

The formula for the volume of a cylinder (can) is
`V=\pi r^2h` first you need to find the radius
`(r)` by dividing the diameter by 2 .

`9/2=4.5`

Now plug your numbers into the formula.

`V=3.14*4.5^2*16\\\\V= 1017.9`

So the volume of the can of tomatoes (cylinder) is

`=1017.9cm^3`

Answer 2

Answer: 1017.36

Step-by-step explanation: The equation set for the volume of a cylinder is V=πr2h (V=pie x radius squared x height). So now all you do is plug in your values! Before that, you have to make sure that your given diameter is converted into radius instead. Radius is just 1/2 of the diameter, so your radius should be 4.5. V=3.14 x 4.5^2 x 16. So the volume should be 1017.36. :)
