A cylindrical pop canis 12.5 centimeters tall and 5.5 centimeters wide. What is the volume of the pop can?
r = 5.5/2 = 2.75 cm
pi r^2 = 23.758 cm^2
pi r^2 h = 23.758*12.5 = 297 cm^3
To find the volume of the pop can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is given by:
Volume = π * r^2 * h
where π is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159, r is the radius of the cylinder, and h is the height of the cylinder.
First, we need to find the radius. The width of the circular base of the pop can is given as 5.5 centimeters. The radius is equal to half of the diameter, so we divide the width by 2 to find the radius:
radius = width / 2 = 5.5 cm / 2 = 2.75 cm
Now we have all the information we need. We can plug in the values into the formula:
Volume = π * (2.75 cm)^2 * 12.5 cm
Calculating this expression will give us the volume of the pop can.
