    The cylinder has a volume of 550 inches which will fit in equivalent volume of a cat litter.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A cylinder is a storage container used to store substances.

    Cat litter is filled into the cylinder.

    To determine the amount of cat litter the cylinder can hold, we need to calculate the volume of the cylinder.

    Volume of a cyclinder=πr^2h

    Where,

    π = pi

    r=radius

    h = height

    Then,

    π=22/7 or 3.143 (constant value)

    r=5 inches

    h=7 inches

    Volume of a cyclinder=22/7 * (5) ^2*7

    =22/7*25*7

    =22*25

    =550 inches

    Volume of the cylinder=550 inches

    Answer: That would be 549.5 cubic inches of cat litter (approximately).

    Step-by-step explanation: The cylindrical storage container has a height of seven inches and a radius of five inches. To know how much cat litter would fill it requires us to calculate the volume of the container.

    The volume of a cylinder is given as,

    Volume = Pi x r^2 x h

    Where r is the radius, h is the height and Pi shall be taken as 3.14

    We can now substitute for the known values as follows;

    Volume = 3.14 x 5^2 x 7

    Volume = 3.14 x 25 x 7

    Volume = 549.5

    Rounded to the nearest tenth, the container would be filled with 549.5 cubic inches of cat litter.
