Question

A soup pot in the shape of a cylinder has a radius of 5 inches and a height of 10 inches. How much soup can the pot hold?

Answer 1

the volume of the cylinder is

`V=\pi hr^2`

here h=10 in, and r=5 in, so

`\begin{gathered} V=(3.14)(10in)(5in)^2 \\ V=785in^3 \end{gathered}`

Then, the pot can hold 785 cubic inches
