A soup can has a diameter of 8cm and a height of 12 cm. What is the volume of the soup can?

The radius is 4, so the area of the base is 16pi. 16pi times 12 is 192pi.

A soup can is a cylinder.

The formula for volume of a cylinder is the following: V = Πr2h.

We are given the height which is 12 (h=12) and the diameter which is 8 (d=8).

The formula asks for radius so we divide the diameter by 2.

r = 8/2 = 4.

Now we can just plug the numbers into the formula

V = Π (4) 2*12

V = 603.19 cm3

Since the units of measure is in centimeters, the volume will be measured in cubic centimeters.
