Find and interpret volume of prisms and cylinders using correct units.
Use cylinder volume for capacity
Problem
A cylindrical soup can has radius \(4~\text{cm}\) and height \(11~\text{cm}\). Calculate its inside volume.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Capacity asks for the can’s interior space, so build the cylinder from a circular base area extended through its height. Square the given radius, multiply by pi for one layer, and then multiply by the height for the whole can. Retaining pi gives an exact value, and the final units must be cubic centimeters.
