To find the volume of a cylindrical soup can, you can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the base and \( h \) is the height of the cylinder.
Without the actual dimensions of Thomas' soup can (the radius and height), I can't calculate the exact volume. However, if you provide the radius and height values, I can help you calculate the volume in terms of \( \pi \).
