Answer:
The height of the tomato soup can is 2.6 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
"The can of chicken noodle soup has a height of 4 inches and a radius of 2 inches."
We can find the volume of this can.
V = pi r² h
V = 3.14 * (2 in.)² * (4 in.)
V = 50.24 in.³
"The can of tomato soup has the same volume, but a radius of 2.5 inches."
Now we know the volume of the can, so we can find the height, h.
V = pi r² h
50.24 in.³ = 3.14 * (2.5 in.)² * h
50.24 in.³ = 19.625 in.² * h
h = (50.24 in.³)/(19.625 in.²)
h = 2.56 in.
Answer: The height of the tomato soup can is 2.6 in.
