A manufacturer of canned fruit products is making a new label for its canned fruit salad. The can is 4 inches tall with a diameter of 3 inches. Determine the size of the label needed to cover the sides of the can to the nearest squared inch. How do I figure this out?

Answer 1

SA = 2 * pi * r * h

SA = 2 * 3.14 * 1.5 * 4

SA = 37.68 = 38 square inches
