Answer 1

The correct answer is C. 88 in^2.

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

In this case, the radius is 2 inches and the height is 5 inches.

V = π(2^2)(5) = 4π(5) = 20π ≈ 63 in^2.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the amount the can can hold is 63 in^2.
