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 volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get:
V = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 543.936
V = 1708.594 inches^3
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the paint bucket is 1708.6 inches^3.
