The radius of the cylinder is half of the diameter, so it is 4 inches.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get:
V = π(4 inches)^2(15 inches) ≈ 753.98 cubic inches
Rounding to the nearest cubic inch, Tanya's container has a volume of 754 cubic inches.
