Answer 2

Answer:

The approximate height of the paint can is 8.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the cylinder ( can of paint) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$V=231\ in^{3}$

$r=3\ in$

$\pi=3.14$

Substitute the values and solve for h

231=(3.14)(3)^{2} h

h=231/(3.14*9)=8.2 in
