Question

Ashton bought 5 cans of olive oil. Each can had a radius of 3.2 inches and was 15 inches tall. Find the total cubic inches of olive oil Ashton had.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A can is a cylinder.

Volume of a can = Volume of Cylinder

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

Given Radius = 3.2 inches and height = 15 inches,

Volume of one olive oil can =

$\pi( {3.2}^{2} )(15) \\ = 153.6\pi {in}^{3}$

Volume of 5 olive oil cans = 5 x volume of one olive can

$= 5 \times 153.6\pi \\ = 768\pi {in}^{3}$

I will just leave the answer in terms of pi as I'm not sure if you need to round off your answers.
