Question

Colin is purchasing a can of beans. The can is in the shape of a right circular cylinder. If the volume of the can is 31.79 inches3
, and the diameter is 3 inches, what is the height of the can? Use 3.14
for π
and round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)
inches

Answer 1

Volume V = πr^2h, r = 3/2 = 1.5 in.

h = V / (πr^2) = 31.79 / (3.14 × 1.5^2) = 31.79 / 7.065 ≈ 4.5

Height ≈ 4.5 inches.
