A soup can has a height of 3.5 inches and a diameter of 2.5 inches. What is the volume of the can? Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

Answer: 17.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is [tex]V=\pi r^{2} h[/tex]

to find the radius divide the diameter by 2 [tex]2.5/2=1.25[/tex]

plug in and solve [tex]V=\pi (1.25)^{2} (3.5)\\V=\pi (1.5625)(3.5)\\V=5.46875\pi \\V=17.2[/tex]
