To find the volume of a cylindrical can, the formula is:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.
From your description:
- The "measurement of the side" (which we interpret as height) is 4.5 units.
- The "measurement of the bottom" is 3 units, which implies the diameter of the can is 3 units.
Since the diameter is 3, the radius \( r \) is half of that:
\[ r = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \]
Now, plug the values into the volume formula:
\[ V = \pi (1.5^2) (4.5) \] \[ V = \pi (2.25) (4.5) \] \[ V = \pi (10.125) \]
So, the volume of Thomas’ can is:
\[ 10.125\pi \]
Therefore, the correct response is:
10.125π or 10.125pi.
