--------------------------
1 liter = 1000 cc
The volume of a cylinder is
V+=+pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
1000+=+pi%2A12%5E2%2Ah
h = 1000/(144*pi)
h = 2.21 cm
That's more like a pan than a can.

It follows ---->V%5Bc%5D=%28pi%29r%5E2h
First, convert units of V%5Bc%5D?

V%5Bc%5D=1000cm%5E3
h=V%5Bc%5D%2F%28pi%29r%5E2
h=1000%28cm%5E3%29%2F%28%28pi%29%2812cm%29%29%5E2
highlight%28h=2.2105cm%29
thank you,
