A large soup can is 6 inches tall with a radius of 2 inches, the large soup can will hold approximately d) 75.36 cubic inches of soup.

To find the volume of the soup can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr²h.

where

V is the volume

r is the radius

h is the height of the cylinder.

Given that the radius of the can is 2 inches and the height is 6 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

V = 3.14 × (2 in)² × 6 in

Calculating this, we get V = 3.14 × 4 in² × 6 in = 3.14 × 24 in³ ≈ 75.36 in³

So, the correct answer is d) 75.36 cubic inches.
