Question

A can of corn has diameter of 6.6 cm and a height of 9.0 centimeters what is the volume of this cylinder?

Answer 1

`307.91` `cm^3` rounded to nearest hundredth

Explanation:

Volume `= pi*r*r*h`

`V = pi*3.3*3.3*9`

`V = 307.91`

Answer 2

`~~307.91` `"cm"^3`

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is `pir^2h`, where:
`quadr = "radius"`
`quadquad` and
`quadh = "height"`

In this question, we have the diameter of the circle, also meaning twice the radius. Let's divide the diameter by `2` to get the radius:
`quad6.6/2 = 3.3` cm

We also have the height, which is `9.0` cm, so now let's plug it into the formula;
`quad=> pi(3.3)^2(9.0)`

Simplify:
`quad=> pi(10.89)(9.0)`

Final answer:
`quadcolor(red)(~~307.91)` `color(red)("cm"^3)`

Hope this helps!
