D. $1.92​

Answer 1

$6.03

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given variables:

height (h) = 12 cm, diameter (d) = 8 cm, r = d ÷ 2 ⇒ r = 4 cm, cost of coconut oil (c) = $0.01 /cm³

The formula of cylinder is given by:

V = πr²h = π * 4² * 12 = 603.1858 cm³

cost of filling the tin can with coconut oil = cost of coconut oil * Volume of cylinder

Cost = c * V = 0.01 * 603.1858

Cost = $6.03
