Colin is purchasing a can of beans the canned is in the shape of a right circular cylinder at the volume of the can is 31.79 inches and the diameter is 3 inches. What is the height of the can use 3.14. For xx And round to the nearest 10th
To find the height of the can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = πr^2 * h
Given that the diameter of the can is 3 inches, the radius of the can is half of that:
r = 3 / 2 = 1.5 inches
We also know that the volume of the can is 31.79 cubic inches:
31.79 = 3.14 * (1.5^2) * h
31.79 = 3.14 * 2.25 * h
31.79 = 7.065 * h
h = 31.79 / 7.065
h ≈ 4.5 inches
Therefore, the height of the can is approximately 4.5 inches.
