Michelle just bought a 5-gallon paint can. The paint bucket resembles a right circular cylinder. If the height is 15.6 inches, and the radius is 5.9 inches, what is the volume of the paint bucket?

Answer 1

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

Plugging in the values, we get:

V = π(5.9)^2(15.6)
V = π(34.81)(15.6)
V = 543.936π cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the paint bucket is approximately 543.936π cubic inches.
