Question

Find the volume of soup can if the diameter is 6.5 in and the height is 9 in

Answer 1

`V = 95.0625\pi` inches

Explanation:

The soup can is a cylinder, and since the diameter is 6.5 inches then the radius is 3.25 inches. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is
`V = \pi r^(2)h`, and by plugging in the values we have, we get
`V = \pi *3.25^(2) *9`.

Solving this equation gives us
`V = 95.0625\pi` inches.

Answer 2

V =298.49625 in^3

Explanation:

Volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi * r^2 *h

We know the diameter so we can find the radius

r = d/2 =6.5/2 = 3.25

and we know the height =9

V = pi * (3.25)^2 *9

V = pi*95.0625

If we approximate by 3.14

V = 3.14*95.0625

V =298.49625 in^3
