The formula to calculate the total area of two bases of a cylinder is 2 * π * r^2, where r is the radius of the base.
Given that the diameter of the base is 5 inches, the radius can be calculated as half of the diameter:
radius = diameter / 2
radius = 5 / 2
radius = 2.5 inches
Plugging in the values, we get:
Total area of two bases = 2 * 3.14 * (2.5)^2
Total area of two bases ≈ 2 * 3.14 * 6.25
Total area of two bases ≈ 39.25 square inches
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can is approximately 39.25 square inches.
The diameter of the base of a cylindrical can is 5 inches. The height of the can is 7.5 inches. Determine total area of two bases. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (Use 3.14 for π.)
