Question
The Little Can Company makes cylindrical cans with a height of 3 inches and radius of 1 inch. The entire lateral face is covered by a label. The paper for the labels is purchased in rolls 3 inch high. When unrolled the paper is 10 yards long. How many labels can be made from each roll, assuming the label does not overlap on the can?

the circumference if the can is 2π.
So, there are
10*36/2π labels per roll
