A can of tomatoes has a radius of 6 cm and a height of 10 cm. What is the approximate volume of the can? 36 cm3 60 cm3 113 cm3 1,130 cm3
Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A can has shape similar to a cylinder. Therefore, formula to calculate volume of can will be as follows.
V = \(\pi \times r^{2} \times h\)
It is given that radius is 6 cm and height is 10 cm. Hence, volume of can will be as follows.
V = \(\pi \times r^{2} \times h\)
= \(3.14 \times (6 cm)^{2} \times 10 cm\)
= \(3.14 \times 36 (cm)^{2} \times 10 cm\)
= \(1130.4 cm^{3}\)
or, = \(1,130 cm^{3}\) (approx)
Thus, we can conclude that the approximate volume of the can is \(1,130 cm^{3}\)
