To calculate the amount of wrapping paper needed for each gift, you need to find the total surface area of the cylinder.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:

2πr(h + r), where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 6 inches, the radius (r) would be half of that, which is 3 inches.

Plugging in the values into the formula:

Surface Area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * (12 + 3) = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 15 = 282.6 inches^2

Therefore, Olga would need 282.6 square inches of wrapping paper for each gift she wraps.
