A cylindrical soup can has a radius of 1.5 in. and is 6 in tall. Find the volume of the can. 4 x in.3 Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.​

Given:

r = 1.5 in.

h = 6 in.

Required:

Volume of the cylinder in the nearest tenths

Solution:

Volume = Area of the base x height

Volume of the cylinder = Area of a circle x height of the cylinder.


\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h^{} \\ V=\pi(1.5)^2(6) \\ V=42.41in^3=42.4in^3 \end{gathered}

Answer:


V=42.4in^3

(rounded off to the nearest tenths)

I'm done with the solution. Do you have question so far?
