Answer:
C. 78.5 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
A soup can is in the shape of a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder can be found using the following formula:
[tex]v=\pi r^2h[/tex]
We know that the height is 4 inches and the radius is 2.5 inches.
r= 2.5 in
h= 4 in
[tex]v=\pi (2.5in)^2*4in[/tex]
Evaluate the exponent.
[tex](2.5 in)^2=2.5 in*2.5in=6.25 in^2[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi *6.25 in^2*4 in[/tex]
Multiply 6.25 in^2 and 4 in.
[tex]6.25 in^2*4 in=25 in^3[/tex]
[tex]v=\pi*25 in^3[/tex]
Multiply pi and 25 in^3.
[tex]v=78.5398163 in^3[/tex]
Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 5 in the tenth place.
[tex]v=78.5 in^3[/tex]
78.5 cubic inches can fill one soup can.
