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

9514 1404 393

Answer:

43.1 in³

Explanation:

The volume can be computed using the formula ...

V = (π/4)d²h . . . . where d is the diameter and h is the height

For your dimensions, the volume is ...

V = (π/4)(2.8 in)²(7 in) ≈ 43.103 in³

A full can contains a volume of about 43.1 cubic inches.
