Solution:

Given a cylinder with

Height = 5 in

Diameter = 4in

We want to determine the volume of the cylinder.


\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ of cylinder = }\pi r^2h \\ Where\text{ r=radius, h=height } \end{gathered}
For\text{ this question, r=}(4)/(2)=2inches
\begin{gathered} Volume\text{ = }\pi(2^2)(5) \\ Volume=\text{ 62.84cubic inches} \end{gathered}

The volume of the of the can is 62.84 cubic inches
