The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Given that the diameter of the base is 5 inches, the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 5/2 = 2.5 inches.
Now, we can calculate the area of one base:
A1 = π(2.5)^2
= 3.14 * 6.25
≈ 19.64 square inches
Since there are two bases on the cylinder, the total area of two bases is:
Total area = 2 * A1
= 2 * 19.64
= 39.28 square inches
Therefore, the total area of two bases of the cylindrical can is approximately 39.28 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.)
