If a can is 12 cm by 8 cm, how much fluid is in the can

Answer 1

Volume of a cylinder is pi x r² x h. Pi is 3.14. I presume your height is 12 cm and your diameter is 8 cm. R is 1/2 of diameter. So your formula would be 3.14 x 4² x 12.

Answer 2

Considering the can as a cylinder, the volume V = π r² h

V = (3.14)(4 cm)²(12 cm) = 603 cm³ (603 ml)

(Note: if using correct significant figures, answer would be 600 ml)
