Answer 1

To find the area of the side of the can of tomatoes, we need to calculate the lateral surface area of the cylinder.

The lateral surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Plugging in the values:
r = 2
h = 5

Lateral surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 2 * 5
= 62.8 square units

To find the area of the top or bottom of the can, we need to calculate the area of the circle.

The area of a circle is given by the formula πr^2.

Plugging in the value of the radius:
r = 2

Area of top or bottom = 3.14 * (2^2)
= 3.14 * 4
= 12.56 square units

Now, the lateral surface area of the can is 62.8 square units and the area of the top or bottom is 12.56 square units.

So the lateral surface area is 62.8 / 12.56 = 5 times the area of the top or bottom of the can of tomatoes.

Therefore, the correct answer is 5.
