cans are cylinders, so we can use the formula for their volume:
V=pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah
where V is volume, r is radius, and h is height.
Since we know the diameter is 12, we can divide it by 2 to find the radius of 6 cm.
If we plug in the values for the height and radius, we get:
V=pi%2A6%5E2%2A10
V=pi%2A36%2A10
V=360%2Api
So, the exact volume of the can is 360pi centimeters.
