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

Given:
r = 11 in
h = 6.5 in

Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = π(11^2)(6.5)
V = π(121)(6.5)
V = π(786.5)
V ≈ 2474.5 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the can is approximately 2474.5 cubic inches.
