Teagan · Answer 1

Imagine 4rows of cans

And five columns of cans

Therefore since we know each can has a diameter of 3, imagine it being the length of the circle, then the length would be 3x5cans and the width to be 3x4cans and finally the height is 7 but there's two layers so that's 14.

Volume is (length) X (width) X (height)

So 15x12x14=2520
