Answer 1

The volume \( V \) of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = \pi r^2 h
\]

where:
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height,
- \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14.

Given:
- Height \( h = 6 \) inches,
- Radius \( r = 3 \) inches.

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
V = 3.14 \times (3)^2 \times 6
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 9 \times 6
\]
\[
V = 3.14 \times 54
\]
\[
V = 169.56
\]

Thus, the volume of the can is approximately \( \boxed{169.56} \) cubic inches.
