Question

A company puts 36 cans into each box they send to a store. Each can has a radius of

1.5 inches and a height of 6 inches. What is the approximate total volume, in cubic inches, of
the cans in each box the company sends to a store? Use 3.14 for T.

Answer 1

First, we calculate for the volume of each can by using the equation,

V = πr²h

Substituting the known values,

V = π(1.5 in)²(6 in) = 42.39 in³ (that is if 3.14 is used in replacement of π)

Then, we multiply the volume by 36.

total volume = (42.39 in³)(36) = 1526.04 in³
