Tommy decided to also make a sampler can with a diameter of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches. Tommy calculated that the area of the base was es002-1.jpg, and multiplied that by the height of 3 inches for a total volume of es002-2.jpg. Explain the error Tommy made when calculating the volume of the can.

I can not see your pictures but

Base area = pi d^2 / 4 = pi in^2

base height = 3 pi in^3

= 9.42 in^3

Tommy used the diameter instead of the radius in the formula to find the area of the base. The diameter needs to be divided by 2 to find the radius. The correct area of the base is 1 pi square inches. The correct total volume is 3 pi cubic inches.
