Daniel has a cylindrical container with a diameter of 10 inches. He fills it with sand to a depth of 6 inches. What is the volume, to the nearest cubic inch, of the sand in Daniel’s container?

A. 188 cubic inches

B. 246 cubic inches

C. 377 cubic inches

D. 471 cubic inches



Answer :

The formula is 3.14 x radius^2 x height, so let's plug in the values. The radius is half the diameter, and the height is 6, so the equation is 3.14 x 5^2 x 6. 5^2 = 25, and 3.14 x 25 = 78.5. 78.5 x 6 = 471, so D is your answer. :)
