A cylindrical soup can has a radius of 1.4 in. and is 5.2 in. tall. Find the volume of the can. in 3 Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Respuesta :

The formula for the volume of a cylinder:

[tex]\text{ Volume = }\pi r^2h[/tex]

Where,

r = radius of the base

h = height of the cylinder

The radius and the height of the cylinder are given:

r = 1.4 in.

h = 5.2 in.

Let's now determine its volume by substituting the values of the radius and height to the volume formula.

[tex]\text{ Volume = }\pi r^2h\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ Volume = }(3.14)(1.4)^2(5.2)[/tex][tex]\text{ = (3.14)(1.96)(5.2)}[/tex][tex]\text{ Volume = 32.00288 in.}^3\text{ }\cong32.0in.^3[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical soup can is 32.0 in.^3.
