Question

Soda is sold in aluminum cans that measure 7 inches in height and 2.8 inches in diameter.

How many cubic inches of soda are contained in a full can?

Answer 1

Volume of soda in soda can = 43.1 inches³ (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Height of soda can = 7 inches

Diameter of soda can = 2.8 inches

Find:

Volume of soda in soda can

Computation:

Radius of soda can = Diameter of soda can / 2

Radius of soda can = 2.8 / 2

Radius of soda can = 1.4 inches

Volume of soda in soda can = Volume of cylinder

Volume of soda in soda can = πr²h

Volume of soda in soda can = (3.14)(1.4)²(7)

Volume of soda in soda can = (3.14)(1.96)(7)

Volume of soda in soda can = 43.1 inches³ (Approx.)
