Question

Robert, Richard and David were working on a project to redesign coke cans. First, Robert measured the original coke can and found the circumference to be 8.6 inches. Richard measured the height to be 15.2 cm.
David calculated the volume to be 131.3 cm3.
Choose the true statement(s) below.

Select one or more:
a.David's calculations are incorrect, he needed to convert centimeters to inches before finding the radius then use the area of the base times the height .

b.David is correct.

c.David's calculations are incorrect, he used the circumference and the height to find the volume.

Answer 1

The true statement is David's calculations are incorrect, he used the circumference and the height to find the volume.

Volume

Correct calculation:

• Height = 15.2 cm
• Circumference = 8.6 inches

C = 2πr

8.6 = 2 × 3.14 × r

8.6 = 6.28r

r = 8.6/6.28

r = 1.36942675159235 inches

convert 1.36942675159235 inches to cm

= 3.478343949044569 cm

Approximately,

r = 3.5 cm

Volume = πr²h

= 3.14 × 3.5² × 15.2

= 3.14 × 12.25 × 15.2

= 584.668 cm³

Approximately,

volume = 584.7 cm³
