Answer 1

To find the circumference of the cylindrical can, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Circumference} = \pi \times \text{diameter} \]

Given the diameter of the can is 7 cm, and using \(\pi \approx 3.14\), we calculate:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 3.14 \times 7 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Circumference} = 3.14 \times 7 = 21.98 , \text{cm} \]

So, the circumference of the can, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a cm, is 21.98 cm.
