To find the total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can, we need to calculate the area of one base and then multiply it by 2.
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius.
Since the diameter of the base is 5 inches, the radius is half of that, so r = 2.5 inches.
Calculating the area of one base:
A = π(2.5)^2
A = π(6.25)
A ≈ 19.63 square inches
Now, to find the total area of the two bases:
Total area = 2 * 19.63
Total area ≈ 39.26 square inches
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can is approximately 39.26 square inches.
