Michelle just bought a 5-gallon paint can. The paint bucket resembles a right circular cylinder. If the height is 15.6 inches, and the radius is 5.9 inches, what is the volume of the paint bucket? Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest tenth.(1 point)
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 values given:
V = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 1720.424
Rounded to the nearest tenth:
The volume of the paint bucket is approximately 1720.4 cubic inches.
