Question

A tin can in the shape of a cylinder is
filled with coconut oil. The cylinder is
12 cm tall and has a diameter of 8 cm. If
coconut oil costs $0.01 per cubic
centimeter, what is the cost of filling the
tin can with coconut oil?

Answer 1

Answer:

$6.08

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the volume of the cylindrical tin can.

The volume of a cylinder is given by;

$V = \pi {r}^{2} h$

Where h=12cm is the height of the tin can and r=8/2=4cm is the radius.

We substitute these values to get;

$V = 3.14 \times {4}^{2} \times 12 \\ V = 602.88 {cm}^{3}$

If coconut oil costs $0.01 per cubic

centimeter, the the cost of filling the

tin can with coconut oil

$= 602.88 \times 0.01 = 6.08$
