They want to find the volume of a soup can so they figure out how many will fit in each box. A diagram of one soup can is shown below. base 4 inches height 6 What is the best approximation of the volume, in cubic inches, of the soup can in the diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 75 . 4 cubic inches B. 113 . 0 cubic inches C. 150 . 7 cubic inches D. 301 . 4 cubic inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the base is 4 inches, the radius is 2 inches

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so plug this in the formula for a cylinder

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and whats that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume= 2xpixr^2xh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats bettwen the r and the 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It means the radius to the 2nd power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so 2x3.14x4x4x6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO. the radius is 2 if the base is 4.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
