Question

Ashton bought 5 cans of olive oil. Each can had a radius of 3.2 inches and was 15 inches tall. Find the total cubic inches of olive oil Ashton had.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A can is a cylinder.

Volume of a can = Volume of Cylinder

`= \pi {r}^(2) h`

Given Radius = 3.2 inches and height = 15 inches,

Volume of one olive oil can =

`\pi( {3.2}^(2) )(15) \\ = 153.6\pi {in}^(3)`

Volume of 5 olive oil cans = 5 x volume of one olive can

`= 5 * 153.6\pi \\ = 768\pi {in}^(3)`

I will just leave the answer in terms of pi as I'm not sure if you need to round off your answers.
