Question

A can of baked beans measures 3.5 inches in diameter and 5.75 inches tall. Ignoring the thickness of the metal,estimate the volume in in3. (round to the tenths place)

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

$\begin{gathered} Diameter=3.5inches \\ Height=5.75inches \end{gathered}$

Step 2

State the volume of a cylinder

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h \\ r=\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{3.5}{2}=1.75inches \end{gathered}$$V=\pi\times1.75^2\times5.75$$\begin{gathered} V=55.32148313in^3 \\ V\approx55.3in^3\text{ to the nearest tenth} \end{gathered}$

Answer;

$Volume=55.3in^3$
