Michaella has 20 cans of tomato sauce with a combined volume of 12,057.6 inches3. If each can has a radius of 4 inches, find the height of 1 can. Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:

V = πr^2h

Given that the radius of each can is 4 inches, and the volume of 20 cans is 12,057.6 inches^3, we can set up the following equation:

20 * π * 4^2 * h = 12,057.6

Simplifying, we get:

320 * π * h = 12,057.6

Dividing both sides by 320π, we find:

h = 12,057.6 / (320 * π)
h = 12,057.6 / 1005.76
h = 12 inches

Therefore, the height of 1 can is 12 inches.
