To find the radius of the can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder: V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height.
We are given that the height is 15.7 cm and the volume is 749.8 cubic cm, so we can plug those values into the formula and solve for r:
749.8 = 3.14r^2(15.7)
749.8 = 494.938r^2
r^2 = 1.516
r = √1.516
r ≈ 1.2
Therefore, the radius of the can is approximately 1.2 centimeters (rounded to the nearest tenth).
