A soup can is 4.2 inches tall and has a diameter of 2.8 inches. What is

the approximate volume of the can or cylinder:
V+=+r%5E2%28pi%29+h...where r=radius and h=height

given:
h=4.2+in
d=2.8+in......->...r=d%2F2=2.8+in%2F2=1.4+in

V+=+r%5E2%28pi%29+h

V+=+%281.4in%29%5E2%2A%283.14%294.2+in

V+=+1.96in%5E2%2A%2813.188%29in
V+=+25.84848in%5E3
V+=+25.85in%5E3
