Question

A can of chicken stock measures 3.5 inches in diameter and is 5 inches tall. What is the volume of the can? Use 3.14 for pi. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

38.50 cubic inches
48.08 cubic inches
92.46 cubic inches
192.33 cubic inches

Answer 1

\(V = \pi r^2 h\)

\(V = (3.14)(1.75^2)(5)\)

Diameter is 3.5, so the radius is half which is 1.75.

First multiply 1.75 * 1.75

Answer 2

ok so it = 3.0625

Answer 3

Yes, so we have:

\(V = (3.14)(3.0625)(5)\)

So multiply 3.14 * 3.0625 * 5

Answer 4

i got 48.08125

Answer 5

Yep, that's our answer.

Answer 6

Thanks for the help again!
