Question 173466
A right cylindrical can is to hold approximately 1 L of water. What should be the height of the can if the radius is 12 cm?
--------------------------
1 liter = 1000 cc
The volume of a cylinder is
{{{V = pi*r^2*h}}}
{{{1000 = pi*12^2*h}}}
h = 1000/(144*pi)
h = 2.21 cm
That's more like a pan than a can.
