a can of drink which is the shape of a cylinder has a capacity of 1.1l. If the height of the can is 27cm what is the diameter
+37146 First you need to make sure you are working in consistent (the same) units
1.1 liter = 1100 cm^3 (cubic cm)
Volume of a cylinder Vc = pi r^2 h 1100 = pi r^2 (27)
1100/(pi 27) = r^2 r= 3.601 Diameter = 2 x r = 7.202 cm
