Question

A can is 6 inches tall with a 5 inch diameter. It is 75% full of water. What is the volume of the water?

Answer 1

A can is the shape of a cylinder.
 The formula for the volume of a cylinder is Volume = PI x r^2 x h

radius is half the diameter: 5 /2 = 2.5 radius

using 3.14 for PI' we get:
V = 3.14 x 2.5^2 x 6

V = 117.75 cubic inches for the full can

since the can is 75% full multiply the full volume by 0.75

117.75 x 0.75 = 88.3125 cubic inches  (round the answer as needed)
