A CAN'S DIAMETER IS 3 INCHES, AND IT HEIGHT IS 8 INCHES. WHAT IS THE VOLUME OF THE CAN.

To find the volume of a can, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The formula is:

Volume = π * (radius^2) * height

Given that the diameter of the can is 3 inches, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2:

Radius = diameter / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 inches

Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:

Volume = π * (1.5^2) * 8

To calculate the volume, we need to know the value of π. π (pi) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. The approximate value of π is 3.14159.

Now, let's calculate the volume:

Volume ≈ 3.14159 * (1.5^2) * 8

Volume ≈ 3.14159 * 2.25 * 8

Volume ≈ 56.548667 in³ (rounded to six decimal places)

Therefore, the volume of the can is approximately 56.548667 cubic inches.

V = pi * r^2 * h

V = 3.14 * 1.5^2 * 8
V = 3.14 * 2.25 * 8
V = _______ square inches
