Question

The area of a second soup can’s base is 5 pi inches squared. The can has a height of 10 inches. How would you use that information to find how much soup the can will hold? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: 157.10 cubic inches

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the volume of the can,.

Since the can is a cylinder we can apply the next formula:

Volume: π x radius ²x height

Since = π x radius ² = area of the base of the cylinder

Replacing with the values given:

V = are of the base x height

V = 5 pi inch2 x 10 inch

V = 5πx10 = 157.10 cubic inches

Answer 2

The amount of soup the can will hold is;

50π inches cubed = 157.08 inches cubed

Explanation:

The amount of soup the can will hold is equal to the volume of the can.

Volume of the can = base area × height

Given;

Base Area = 5π inches squared

height = 10 inches

Volume of can = 5π × 10 = 50π inches cubed

The amount of soup the can will hold is;

50π inches cubed = 157.08 inches cubed
