Question

soda is sold in aluminum cans that measure 6 inches in height and 2 inches in diameter. how many cubic inches of soda are contained in a full can. use pi= 3.14

Answer 1

Answer: it’s actually 18.85

Explanation:

Answer 2

18.84 cubic inches

Explanation:

Height of aluminum cans = 6 inches

Diameter of can = 2 inches

we know that diameter is twice of radius

So,

Diameter of can = 2 inches = 2* radius of can

radius of can = 2 inches/2 = 1 inches

We also know that volume of any cylindrical object is given by

volume of cylinder =
`\pi r^2 h`

where h is height of cylinder

and r is radius of cylinder

___________________________________

Amount of soda in can will be equal to volume of can

`volume \ of \ can = \pi r^2h\\\\ volume \ of \ can = 3.14*1^2* 6 \ ( \pi= 3.14)volume \ of \ can = 18.84 \\\\`

Thus, 18.84 cubic inches of soda are contained in the given full can.
