To find the surface area of the label, we need to calculate the lateral surface area of the can.

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by:

Lateral surface area = 2πr * h

where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder.

We are given that the diameter of the can is 6 inches, so the radius (r) is half of the diameter, which is 6/2 = 3 inches.

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Lateral surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 4

Lateral surface area = 75.36 square inches

Therefore, 75.36 square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can.
