Lily, Priya, and Abigail are helping their friend Michael to prepare tor a soup kitchen event. They have a large soup pot shaped like a cylinder that has a height of 15 inches and a radius of 6 inches. How much soup can Michael's soup pot hold?
A) 423.9 in
B) 4239 in
C) 1695.6 in
D) 1695.6 in
To find the volume of the soup pot, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder, which is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the given values, we have V = π(6^2)(15) = π(36)(15) = 540π cubic inches.
To find the approximate value of the volume, we can use the approximation π ≈ 3.14.
Therefore, the approximate volume is 540(3.14) ≈ 1695.6 cubic inches.
Hence, the answer is D) 1695.6 in.
