Acan of tuna fish is a cylinder with a height of 1.75 inches and a diameter of 3 inches. if the can is half full, how many cubic inches of tuna is in the can?

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculate the volume of a cylinder is:

r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Given the diameter of 3 inches, calculate the radius of the cylinder with:

(Where d is the diameter)

Knowing the height and the radius, you can calculate the volume of the entire can of tuna:

As you want to know the cubic inches of tuna that are in the can (volume of tuna), and you know that the can is half full, then:

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
