Question

Brianna models a can of ground coffee as a right cylinder. She measures its height as 6 1/4 in its radius as in 3/4in. Find the volume of the can in cubic inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

To find the volume of the can, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

Volume = π * r^2 * h

Given:

Height of the can = 6 1/4 inches (or 6.25 inches)

The radius of the can = 3/4 inches (or 0.75 inches)

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Volume = π * (0.75)^2 * 6.25

Calculating this, we find:

Volume ≈ 3.14159 * 0.5625 * 6.25

Volume ≈ 10.973

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the can is approximately 11.0 cubic inches.
