Tommy's first soup can has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 6 inches. How much soup will it hold? Cylinder V = Bh 1. Write the formula for the area of a circle to find B: 2. Substitute the actual measures for the variables: 3. Evaluate the power: V = πr2h V = π(22)(6) V = π(4)(6) 4. Simplify: V = π in.3
