Question 400350
Find the exact value of the volume of a can of tomato paste with a diameter 5 centimeters and height of 8 centimeters. Include correct units with your solution. Use "pi" in place of the pi symbol.

It might help to visualize volumes as areas moving a certain distace.

In this problem we can calculate the area of the top of the can then move it a distance equal to the height of the can.

area of top of the can = pi*r^2cm^2 =pi*(5/2)^2cm^2=pi(25/4)cm^2

volume = height*area = 8cm*pi(25/4)cm^2=50picm^3

ans:The exact volume of the can is 50picm^3
