Question

A paint can has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the volume of the paint can? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

$V=753.6\ \text{inches}^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Radius of a paint can, r = 4 inches

Height of a paint can, h = 15 inches

We need to find the volume of the paint can. We know that the shape of a paint can is in the form of cylinder such that the volume of cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2h$

Substituting all the values we get

$V=3.14\times (4)^2\times 15\\\\V=753.6\ \text{inches}^3$

So, the volume of the paint can is 753.6 cubic inches.
