A can has the shape of a cylinder. To find the volume of a cylinder, we use the formula v=h*πr2 where h is the height, r is the radius and v is the volume. The radius is half the diameter, so r=11/2=5.5cm. We know that h is 16cm , so plugging in 5.5cm for r and 16cm for h, we get v=16*pi*5.52=1520.53cm3.
