To find the volume of a cylinder (which is the shape of the can), you can use the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius, and
- \( h \) is the height.
Given:
- Radius \( r = 1.8 \) inches
- Height \( h = 6.1 \) inches
- π is approximated as 3.14
Now substituting the values into the formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times (1.8)^2 \times 6.1 \]
First, calculate \( (1.8)^2 \):
\[ (1.8)^2 = 3.24 \]
Now substitute that back into the volume formula:
\[ V = 3.14 \times 3.24 \times 6.1 \]
Next, calculate \( 3.14 \times 3.24 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 3.24 = 10.1856 \]
Now multiply this result by 6.1:
\[ 10.1856 \times 6.1 = 62.13116 \]
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
\[ V \approx 62.1 \text{ in}^3 \]
Therefore, the volume of the can is approximately 62.1 in³.
