Michelle just bought a 5-gallon paint can. The paint bucket resembles a right circular cylinder. If the height is 15.6 inches, and the radius is 5.9 inches, what is the volume of the paint bucket? Use 3.14 for π . Round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

V = πr^2h

Substitute the values given:

V = 3.14 * 5.9^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 543.336
V ≈ 1706.6 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the paint bucket is approximately 1706.6 cubic inches.
