Question

Unit 5. 9) Please help. A soda can holds approximately 25.5 cubic inches of soda and is 4.8 inches tall. What is the approximate area of its base?

Answer 1

5.3125 in^2

Explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by

V = pi r^2 h

V = Bh

Where B is the area of the base

25.5 = 4.8 B

Divide each side by 4.8

25.5/4.8 = B

5.3125 = B
