A man wants some cans made for him. He visits the Can-Do Can company and asks about making cans. They show him their new line of extruded cans and tell him that the Heigth of the can is equal to the circumference of the base. The price is perfect so he orders 500 cans of 10.68 gallons each.
What is the radius of the can base?
This problem makes them find the vol of a gallon >>dictionary or online. One gallon is 231 cu in.
the volume is 2*pi^2* R^3. the radius is 5 in the volume is 10.68144 gallons.
students will arrive at cube root of ~125 (let's start posting math problems lol)
