Question

A soda can is made out of aluminum. It is 12

centimeters tall and has a diameter of 7.5
centimeters. How many cubic units of soda
would be needed to fill the can?
(Use 3.14 as PI)

Answer 1

529.875
`cm^3`

I don't know if they want it rounded or not, but rounded it would be 529.88 or 529.9

Explanation:

Find the volume of the can (cylinder):

h = 12 cm

d = 7.5 cm

r = 1/2d = 3.75 cm

`V=\pi r^2h\\\\= (3.14)(3.75)^2(12)\\\\= 529.875`
