Question

a cylindrical shaped container is 8 in. tall with a diameter of 6 in. How much water could this container hold?​

Answer 1

226.19 in³ or .979 gallons

Explanation:

The problem is asking for volume.

First, you must get the radius

d represents diameter

r = d/2

r = 6/2

r = 3

Now, you can calculate for the volume

Volume formula for cylinder

V = πr²h

V = π(3)²(8)

V = 226.19 in³ or .979 gallons

Answer 2

226.08 in

Explanation:

To find how much water this container can hold, we should find the volume of this container.

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

= 3.14 × 3² × 8 (r= d/2 => 6/2 = 3)

= 226.08 in
