Question

Juice is sold in an aluminum can of cylindrical shape that measure 6 inches in height and 2 inches in diameter. How many cubic inches of juice are contained in a full can approximately?

• A. 12.0
• B. 15.4
• C. 18.8
• D. 113.0

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 18.8

A full can contains approximately 18.85 cubic inches of juice.

1. Find the Radius:
   $\text{Radius } (r) = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{2\text{ inches}}{2} = 1\text{ inch}$

2. Use the Cylinder Volume Formula:
   $\text{Volume } (V) = \pi r^2 h$

   • Where $h = 6\text{ inches}$ (height) and $\pi \approx 3.14159$

3. Calculate the Final Value:
   $V = 3.14159 \times (1)^2 \times 6$
   $V = 3.14159 \times 6 \approx 18.85\text{ cubic inches}$
