3. A fruit can has diameter 5.8 cm and height 10.5 cm. A plastic label wraps around the can. What is the area of the plastic label?

Answer 1

To find the area of the plastic label, we need to find the circumference of the circular base of the can and multiply it by the height of the can.

Circumference = π x diameter
Circumference = 3.14 x 5.8cm
Circumference = 18.212 cm

Therefore, the area of the plastic label is:
Area = Circumference x Height
Area = 18.212cm x 10.5cm
Area = 191.223 cm²

Therefore, the area of the plastic label is 191.223 cm².
