So..Volume of a cylinder = pi(r)^2 x Height The first can has a radius of 1.75 (3.5/2) and a height of 1.25 inches..put that in the formula and you'll get the volume of the first cylinder ~ 12.02 Do the same thing with the second cylinder and you'll get ~5.65 as the volume. Now calculate the difference between the two by simply subtracting the two volumes and the difference would approximately be 6.37 hope this helps! :)
