WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER.

A soda can holds 235.5 in^3 of liquid. If the can is 5 inches tall, what is the distance across the top of the soda can?

Answer 1

Answer:

7.744

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem you have to work backwards

The equation for the volume is V = (area of circle) x height

So here, to solve the area of the circle, you need to divide the 235.5 by 5

So:

235.5 = (area of circle) x 5

Area of circle is 47.1

Then, you need to find the radius of the circle by using this equation for the area of a circle

$A = \pi \cdot r^{2}$

So:

47.1 = π * $r^{2}$

r = 3.872

This question is asking for the diameter, which is double the radius,

2 x 3.872 = 7.744
