Answer: the diameter of the can is 2.8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as
Volume = πr²h
Where
r represents the radius of the cylinder.
h represents the height of the cylinder.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
From the information given,
height = 4.5 inches
Volume of can = 454 millilitres
1 cubic inch = 16.387 millilitres
Converting 454 millilitres to cubic inches, it becomes
454/16.387 = 27.7 cubic inches
Therefore
27.7 = 3.14 × r² × 4.5
27.7 = 14.13r²
r² = 27.7/14.13
r² = 1.96
r = √1.96
r = 1.4
Diameter = 2 × radius
Diameter = 2 × 1.4 = 2.8 inches
