Tommy decided to also make a sampler can with a diameter of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches. Tommy calculated that the area of the base was 4 pi inches squared, and multiplied that by the height of 3 inches for a total volume of 12 pi inches cubed. Explain the error Tommy made when calculating the volume of the can.

a = πr²

r = 1/2 (d). so if the diameter is 2, then r = 1

so if you multiply, the area will be 1 π inches

a = π(1)²

a = π

v = 3π inches

because of the error in the area, it led to the error in calculating the volume.
