To find the surface area of the label, we need to calculate the lateral surface area of the can. The lateral surface area of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
Lateral surface area = 2πrh
Where:
- r is the radius of the base of the cylinder (half of the diameter)
- h is the height of the cylinder
Given that the diameter of the can is 6 inches, the radius (r) is half of that, which is 3 inches.
Lateral surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 4
Lateral surface area = 75.36 square inches
Therefore, 75.36 square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can.
A can of olives has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. How many square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can? Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point)
