The formula for the surface area of a cylinder includes the areas of two bases (top and bottom) and the lateral surface area.
The area of one base can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the base. The radius of the base of the can is half of the diameter, so it is 7.5 in / 2 = 3.75 in.
The area of one base is then A1 = π(3.75)^2 = 44.18 in^2.
Since there are two bases of the same size, the total area of the two bases is 2 * 44.18 in^2 = 88.36 in^2.
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the can is approximately 88.36 in^2.
The height of the can is 7.5 in determine total area of two bases round your answer to the nearest hundredth use 3.14 for pi
