Question

There are 24 cans of soda arranged in 4 rows of 6 cans each. Each can is a

cylinder with a radius of 4 cm and a height of 15 cm. These cans are to be packed

snuggly into a rectangular prism case with no extra space on the top, bottom, or

sides. Determine the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the case (rectangular prism).

Answer 1

23,040 cm^3.

Explanation:

The case will be 6 * diameter of a can in length,

= 6* 8= 48 cm.

The width will be 4 * 8 = 32 cm.

The height = height of each can

= 15 cm.

So the volume of the case = 15*32*48

= 23,040 cm^3.
