The volume is the area of the groundplane times the height.
The area is πr², and r is half the diameter = 4.
So area = 3.14*4*4 = 50.24 and volume = 5*50.24=251.2

The volume of the can of beans =251.2 inches ³

Calculation of the volume of a cylinder

To calculate the volume of a cylinder( can) the formula V=πr²h is used.

The height of the cylinder = 5inches

The radius of the cylinder = diameter/2 = 8/2 = 4 inches

Therefore the volume = π × 4² × 5

= 3.14 × 16 × 5

= 251.2 inches ³

Therefore, the volume of the can of beans =251.2 inches ³ to the nearest tenth.
