A coffee canister is shaped like a cylinder. It has a radius of 6.3 inches and a height of 10 inches. Which measurement is closest to the volume of the coffee canister in cubic inches?
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:
V = π(6.3)^2(10)
V = π(39.69)(10)
V = 396.9π
π is approximately equal to 3.14. So,:
V ≈ 396.9(3.14)
V ≈ 1246.866 cubic inches
The closest measurement to the volume of the coffee canister in cubic inches is 1247 cubic inches.
