To find the radius of the can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = πr²h
Where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
We know that the height of the can is 15.7 cm and the volume is 749.8 cm³, so we can plug in those values and solve for r:
749.8 = πr²(15.7)
Divide both sides by π(15.7):
r² = 749.8 ÷ π(15.7)
r² = 15.1298
Take the square root of both sides:
r ≈ 3.89
So the radius of the can is approximately 3.89 cm.
you can buy a can of soup at the supermarket. The soup can is 15.7 cm tall in the volume of the Cannes is 749.8 cm³ what is the radius of the can?
