Mikayla has a can of paint that has a height of 105 inches and a radius of 0.5 feet. What is the can’s surface area in feet? Use 3.14 for π..

Answer 1

First, we need to convert the height from inches to feet:

1 foot = 12 inches

105 inches / 12 inches = 8.75 feet

Next, we can calculate the surface area of the can:

Surface area = 2πrh + 2πr^2

Surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 0.5 feet * 8.75 feet + 2 * 3.14 * (0.5 feet)^2

Surface area = 3.14 feet * 8.75 feet + 3.14 feet

Surface area = 27.535 feet + 1.57 feet

Surface area = 29.105 feet

Therefore, the can's surface area is approximately 29.105 square feet.
