Question

A paint can has a radius of 9.5 centimeters and a height of 28 centimeters. How
many cubic centimeters of paint will fill the can?
A) 31,739.12 cm3
B) 7934.78 cm3
C) 835.24 cm3
D) 3340.96 cm3

Answer 1

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Where "r" is the radius and "h" is the height.

You know that the paint can has a radius of 9.5 centimeters and a height of 28 centimeters:

$r=9.5cm\\h=28cm$

Then, you need to substitute these values into  $V=\pi r^2h$ to get the final result (In this case you can use $\pi=3.14$)

 $V=(3.14) (9.5cm)^2(28cm)$

$V=7934.78cm^3$
