To calculate the volume of the can using the formula \( V = \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h \), we need to plug in the values for the radius and height, as well as the value of \( \pi \).
Given:
- Radius \( r = 2 \) inches
- Height \( h = 3.5 \) inches
- \( \pi \approx 3.14 \)
Now, substitute these values into the formula:
\[ V = \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h \] \[ V = 3.14 \cdot (2)^2 \cdot 3.5 \] \[ V = 3.14 \cdot 4 \cdot 3.5 \] \[ V = 3.14 \cdot 14 \] \[ V = 43.96 , \text{in}^3 \]
Therefore, the volume of the tomato soup that will fill the can is 43.96 in³.
