Augustus Whitney · Answer 1

What we want to find, is the volume of the can because that will give us the volume of the milk filing the can. We are given the following formula for volume:

V = pi * r^2 * h

When we plug in the volumes we are given we get the equation:

V = 3 * 4^2 * 12

Solving this equation:

V = 3 * 4^2 * 12

V = 3 * 16 * 12

V = 48 * 12

V = 576cm^3

There is 576 cubic centimeters of coconut milk in the can.
