The diameter of a cylindrical can of motor oil is 3.5 (in). The height of the can is 6.5 in. Approximately how many cubic inches of oil will the can hold?
--------------------
The volume of a cylinder is the area of its base times its height.
V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
V+=+pi%2A%283.5%2F2%29%5E2%2A6.5
V = 19.90625pi
V =~62.54 cubic inches
