To find the volume of a right cylinder, we use the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given:
r = 3/4 in
h = 6 1/4 in = 6.25 in

Plugging in the values:
V = π(3/4)^2 * 6.25
V = π(9/16) * 6.25
V = (9π/16) * 6.25
V = 56.54866776

Therefore, the volume of the can is approximately 56.5 cubic inches.
