A can of tuna has a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 3 inches. What is the volume of the can of tuna? (Use 3.14 for π.) 56.52 in.3 150.72 in.3 113.04 in.3 37.68 in.3

The volume of a cylinder refers to the number of cubic units that will exactly fill a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder can be found or calculate by using the formula V=πr^2(h), where r represents the radius of the figure.

In this exercise is given that a can of tuna which is a cylinder has a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 3 inches, and it is asked to find its volume. In order to find the volume of the can of tuna, you should substitute the values for the radius and height into the previous mention formula. But first of all, the radius of the cylinder should be find it.

Radius=Diameter/2
Radius=4 inches/2
Radius=2 inches

Now that the radius of the cylinder is known you can substitute the values into the formula, V=πr^2(h).

V=πr^2(h)
V=(3.14)(2 in)^2(3 in)
V=(3.14)(4 in)(3 in)
V=(3.14)(12 in^2)
V=37.68 in^3

The volume of the can of tuna is 37.98 cubic inches.
