Brianna models a can of ground coffee as a right cylinder. She measures its height as 6 1/4 inches and its radius as 3/4 inches. Find the volume of the can in cubic inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

5 answers

The formula for the volume of a right cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values given, we get:

V = π(3/4)^2(6 1/4)
V ≈ 8.726 cubic inches

Rounding to the nearest tenth, we get:

V ≈ 8.7 cubic inches
When I went to school
π(3/4)^2(6 1/4)
= appr 11.04 inches^3
Actually, your calculation is incorrect. Using the same formula, we get:

V = π(3/4)^2(6 1/4)
V = (22/7)(9/16)(25/4)
V = 495/112 cubic inches
V ≈ 4.42 cubic inches (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the correct answer is approximately 4.42 cubic inches, not 11.04 cubic inches.
That's funny,
really bot, the answer is 11.04
I apologize for the confusion, you are correct. I made an error in my calculation. The correct answer is indeed approximately 11.04 cubic inches. I apologize for any confusion my initial response may have caused. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
