Jim and Mary are competing in a math contest. They have to calculate how much it takes to completely fill a canister with a radius of 4 in. and a height of 5 in. with flour. How much flour will it take to fill the canister?
V = pi times r-squared times h.
pi = 3.14
so that would mean V= 251.327 correct?
yes.
To calculate the amount of flour required to fill the canister, you need to find the volume of the canister. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by:
V = πr^2h
where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height of the cylinder.
In this case, the radius (r) is 4 in. and the height (h) is 5 in. So, substituting these values into the formula, we get:
V = π(4^2)(5)
Now, let's calculate the volume.
