Answer:

The volume of a cylinder is calculated as follows:

V = πr²h

where:

V is the volume of the cylinder

π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately equal to 3.14)

r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

Inserting the provided values:

V = π × (1.3 in)² × 5 in V = π × 1.69 in² × 5 in V = 8.45π in³

So, rounded to the closest tenth, the capacity of the soup can is roughly 26.5 cubic inches.
