Question 1102509: I need to calculate the volume of 10 cans in inches. their radius is 3 inches and height is 5 inches.
Also they are in a box. They touch the the box in length and width. Also the height of the can is the same as the height of the box. What would the volume of the box be in inches?
Thank you very much for your time!!

I need to calculate the volume of 10 cans in inches. their radius is 3 inches and height is 5 inches.
Volume = (area of base)*height
For each can, V = (pi*3^2)*5 = 45pi in^3
For 10 cans, V = 450pi in^3
--------------------------------------------
Also they are in a box. They touch the the box in length and width. Also the height of the can is the same as the height of the box. What would the volume of the box be in cubic inches?
------
Box dimensions
height = 5 in ; width = 2*3 = 6 in ; length = 10*6 = 60 in
Volume = 5*6*60 = 5*360 = 1800 in^3
