Question

A paint can has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the volume of the paint can? Round to the nearest tenth.

Use 3.14 for
cubic inches

Answer 1

`V=753.6\ \text{inches}^3`

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a paint can, r = 4 inches

Height of a paint can, h = 15 inches

We need to find the volume of the paint can. We know that the shape of a paint can is in the form of cylinder such that the volume of cylinder is given by :

`V=\pi r^2h`

Substituting all the values we get

`V=3.14* (4)^2* 15\\\\V=753.6\ \text{inches}^3`

So, the volume of the paint can is 753.6 cubic inches.
