Question

A cylindrical soup can has a radius of 1.8 in. and is 6.7 in. tall. Find the volume of the can.

Answer 1

Initial considerations

• radius = 1.8 in
• tall = 6.7 in
• Volume?

Resolution

Volume = base area x tall

base area = π x (1.8in)²

base area = 10.179 in²

Volume = 10.179 in² x 6.7 in

Volume = 68.198 in³

Answer

the volume is 68.198 in³
