in and its radius as

1 in. Find the volume of the can in cubic inches. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. Plugging in the given values, we get:
V = π(1^2)(6.5)
V ≈ 20.91
So the volume of the can is approximately 20.91 cubic inches. Rounded to the nearest tenth, this is 20.9 cubic inches.
