When finding the volume of a soup can, Tommy needs to calculate the area of the base. Describe what type of base Tommy's soup can has and what formula he should use to find its area.?

This is the concept of Area and volume of solid materials; Tommy soup can is likely to have a cylindrical shape. This means that the base of the cylinder will have a circular shape. If this is the case the volume of the can will be given by:

volume=[base area]*height

volume=πr^2h

where;

base area=πr^2

height=h
