Question

Sam has a cylindrical storage container 7 inches tall with a radius of 5 inches. How much cat litter will fit in the container? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

549.8 inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of Cylinder = height × base, where base = $\pi$r².

The radius (r) is given, 5 inches, and so is the height, 7 inches.

We simply substitute these values into the equation.

V(volume)  = 7 × $\pi$ × 5²

                  = 175$\pi$

                  = 549.77871437821...

when we round that to the nearest tenth,

                  ≈ 549. 8
