Question

A can of baked beans measures 3.5 inches in diameter and 5.75 inches tall. Ignoring the thickness of the metal,estimate the volume in in3. (round to the tenths place)

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

`\begin{gathered} Diameter=3.5inches \\ Height=5.75inches \end{gathered}`

Step 2

State the volume of a cylinder

`\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h \\ r=(diameter)/(2)=(3.5)/(2)=1.75inches \end{gathered}`
`V=\pi*1.75^2*5.75`
`\begin{gathered} V=55.32148313in^3 \\ V\approx55.3in^3\text{ to the nearest tenth} \end{gathered}`

Answer;

`Volume=55.3in^3`
