Answer:

V  =  38.47 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The container base radius is half the diameter, that is, 1.75 in, and the height is 12 in.  The formula for the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is V = (1/3)(pi)(r)^2h, which in this particular case comes out to:

V = (1/3)(3.14)(1.75 in)^2*(12 in), or

V  =  38.47 in^3
