A food company makes regular and tall soup cans. The area of the base of both cans is 5 cm2. The volume of the regular can is 40 cm3. The tall can is 2 cm taller. What is the volume of the tall soup can?
Volume of the can: V = B · h The area of the base of both cans is 5 cm² For the regular can: 40 cm³ = 5 cm² · h h = 40 : 5 h = 8 cm The tall can has the height: h = 8 cm + 2 cm = 10 cm. V t = 5 cm² · 10 cm = 50 cm³ Answer: The volume of the tall soup can is 50 cm³
