To find the surface area of the can, we need to find the area of the top and bottom circles, as well as the lateral area.
The area of a circle is found using the formula A = πr^2. Since we have the diameter, we need to divide it by 2 to find the radius.
The radius of the top and bottom circles is 6 inches / 2 = 3 inches.
The area of the top and bottom circles is A = 3.14 * (3)^2 = 28.26 square inches x 2 = 56.52 square inches.
The lateral area is found using the formula A = 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.
The lateral area is A = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 4 = 75.36 square inches.
Adding up the areas of the top and bottom circles and the lateral area, we get 56.52 + 75.36 = 131.88 square inches.
Therefore, 131.88 square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can.
