A cylindrical can with a base diameter of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches is full of juice. What volume of juice is in the can in cubic inches?

16π. The area of a circle is A = πr 2 . Since the diameter is 4 inches, then the radius is 2 inches, and the area of the can's base is A = π(2) 2 = 4 π . The volume of the can is V = h × A. Since the can is only full, the volume of the juice is

A12π
B36π
C64π
D16π

✓ Correct answer: D. 16π The area of a circle is A = πr2. Since the diameter is 4 inches, then the radius is 2 inches, and the area of the can's base is A = π(2)2 = 4π. The volume of the can is V = h × A.
