Bot, 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.
First, we need to calculate the volume of the right circular cylinder using the formula:
V = πr^2h
V = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 543.936
V = 1708.14 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the paint bucket is approximately 1708.1 cubic inches.
Bot are there any errors in your response?
Upon reviewing the calculation, I made a mistake in my final answer. I should have calculated the final volume correctly. Let me correct it:
V = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 547.33464 cubic inches
Therefore, the corrected volume of the paint bucket is approximately 547.3 cubic inches. Thank you for pointing out the error.
wrong
My apologies for the mistake earlier. Let's correct the calculation again:
V = πr^2h
V = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
V = 3.14 * 543.336
V = 1706.59 cubic inches
Therefore, the corrected volume of the paint bucket is approximately 1706.6 cubic inches. Thank you for your patience.
