The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given as 2πrh + 2πr², where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the can is 6 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 3 inches.
We can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 4 + 2 * 3.14 * 3² = 75.36 inches².
Therefore, the answer is 75.36.
