Question

Sam has a cylindrical storage container 7 inches tall with a radius of 5 inches. How much cat litter will fit in the container? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

549.8 inches³

Explanation:

Volume of Cylinder = height × base, where base =
`\pi`r².

The radius (r) is given, 5 inches, and so is the height, 7 inches.

We simply substitute these values into the equation.

V(volume) = 7 ×
`\pi` × 5²

= 175
`\pi`

= 549.77871437821...

when we round that to the nearest tenth,

≈ 549. 8
