A paint can has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 15 inches. What is the volume of the paint can? Round to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for π.
Accepted Solution
A:
r=4 in h=15 in
The paint can is a cylinder. The volume of the cylinder is: V=S×h (S stands for the area of the base, h is for height). The area of our cylinder's base is a circle, so: S=πr²=4²×π=16π≈50.24 (in²) Thus, the volume is: V≈50.24×15≈753.6 (in³)
