A. 35.26 in^3
B. 11.75in ^3
C. 141.03in^3
D. 184.42in^3

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula to find the volume of a cylinder is V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 3.25 inches, the radius (r) is half that, so r = 3.25/2 = 1.625 inches.

Plugging in the values, V = π(1.625)^2(4.25)
V ≈ 35.26 in^3

Therefore, the volume of the can is 35.26 in^3.

The correct answer is A. 35.26 in^3.
