<PRE><B>Question 439890</B>
Tennis balls are packaged three to a cylindrical can. If the diameter of a tennis ball is 2 1/2 inches, find the volume of the can. 
---
The height of the can is 3*diameter of a ball = 3*(5/2) = 15/2 inches
-----
Diameter of the base = diameter of a ball = 5/2 inches.
-----
Volume = Area of base*height
Vol = (pi)*(5/4)^2*(5/2)
---
Vol = 3.906(pi) cu. in.
---
Vol = 12.2718 cu. in.
