Since 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters (cm), and 1 milliliter (mL) is equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³), we need to calculate the volume of a cylinder with a height of 1 inch (2.54 cm) and a diameter of 1 inch (2.54 cm).
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is:
Volume = π × Radius² × Height
First, we need to find the radius:
Radius = Diameter / 2 = 1 inch / 2 = 0.5 inch
Now, convert the radius from inches to centimeters:
Radius (cm) = 0.5 inch × 2.54 cm/inch = 1.27 cm
Now, calculate the volume:
Volume (cm³) = π × (1.27 cm)² × 2.54 cm ≈ 16.387 cm³
Since 1 cm³ is equal to 1 mL:
Volume (mL) ≈ 16.387 mL
So, approximately 16.39 mL is equal to 1-inch³ (cubic inch).
