Question

Description: Jacob'sdad gave him a sodacan to use. He was ableto cut off the top tohave a full opening. Thecan is 5 inches tall andthe opening has adiameter of 3 inches.What is the volume of the can?

Answer 1

STEP 1: Write out the given values

Height of can = 5 inches

Diameter of can =3 inches

Therefore

`\text{Radius}=(Diameter)/(2)=(3)/(2)`

STEP 2: Write out the formula for the volume of the can.

The can is a cylinder so we will find the volume of a cylinder.

`\begin{gathered} The\text{Volume of the can=}\pi r^2h \\ \end{gathered}`

STEP 3: input the values in the formula.

`\begin{gathered} volume=(22)/(7)*((3)/(2))^2*5 \\ =(22)/(7)*(9)/(4)*5 \\ =(990)/(28) \\ =35.36\text{ cubic inches} \end{gathered}`
