The amount the can can hold is calculated by using the formula for the volume of a cylinder which is π(r^2)h.
Plugging in the values:
π(2^2)(5) = π(4)(5) = 20π
Rounded to the nearest whole number, this is approximately 63.
Therefore, the BEST measurement that describes the amount the can can hold is A) 63.
