Answer:
4.33 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the can to be cylindrical then its volume is given by
[tex]V=\frac {\pi h d^{2}}{4}[/tex]
Making d the subject then
[tex]d=\sqrt {\frac {4V}{\pi h}}[/tex]
Where V represent volume, d is the diameter and h is the height. Substituting 71.79 in³ for V and 4.87 in for h then
[tex]d=\sqrt {\frac {4*71.79}{\pi *4.87}}=4.33234022803439\approx 4.33[/tex]
Therefore, the diameter is approximately 4.33 inches
