A soup can has a height of 4.5 inches and a diameter of 3.25 inches. Which of the following is the closest to the volume of the soup can?
149 cubic inches
37 cubic inches
23 cubic inches
52 cubic inches



Answer :

The volume of a cylinder (shape of the soup can) is worked out by...
pi x radius^2 x h so...
pi x 1.625 (half diameter) ^2 x 4.5 = 37.33096 in^3 so it is closest to 37 cubic inches.
Hope this helps :)

The volume of the soup can wIll be 37 cubic inches. Option B is correct.

What is volume?

The term “volume” refers to the amount of three-dimensional space taken up by an item or a closed surface. It is denoted by V and its SI unit is in cubic m.

The volume of a soup can-shaped cylinder is calculated using;

[tex]\rm V = \pi r^2 h \\\\ V= 3.14 \times (1.625)^2\times 4.5 \\\\ V=37.3 \ inch^3[/tex]

The volume of the soup can will be 37 cubic inches.

Hence, option B is correct.
