Question

A paint can has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the volume of the paint can? Round to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

Answer:

V≈50.24×15≈753.6 (in³)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

R=4 in
h=15 in

The paint can is a cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is: V=S×h (S stands for the area of the base, h is for height).
The area of our cylinder's base is a circle, so:
S=πr²=4²×π=16π≈50.24 (in²)
Thus, the volume is:
V≈50.24×15≈753.6 (in³)
