Find the volume of a can of soup that has a height of 16cm and a radius of 5cm. Use 3.14 for pi.

Solution:

A can is in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 16 cm and a radius of the circular base of 5cm.

Volume of the cylindrical can = πr²h. unit³

⇒ volume = 3.14 × (5)² × (16) (Use π = 3.14)

⇒ 3.14 × 25 × 16

On solving the above, we get

⇒ 3.14 × 400

⇒ 1256cm³

Find the volume of a can of soup that has a height of 16cm and a radius of 5cm. Use 3.14 for pi.

Summary:

The volume of a can of soup that has a height of 16cm and a radius of 5cm is 1256cm³.
