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
the value of Pi.
First, we calculate the volume of a cylinder using the formula:
Volume = Pi * radius^2 * height
Plugging in the values:
Volume = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
Volume = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
Volume = 1725.6024 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the paint bucket is approximately 1725.6 cubic inches.
round to the nearest tenth
Volume = 3.14 * (5.9)^2 * 15.6
Volume = 3.14 * 34.81 * 15.6
Volume = 1725.6024 cubic inches
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the paint can is approximately 1725.6 cubic inches.
