The label on the outside of the can will cover the curved surface area of the can.
The curved surface area of a cylinder can be found using the formula:
CSA = 2πr * h
Where r is the radius of the base (diameter divided by 2) and h is the height.
In this case, the radius of the base is 6 inches / 2 = 3 inches.
So, the curved surface area of the can is:
CSA = 2π(3) * 4
= 24π
To find the answer in square inches, we need to evaluate π. Let's use 3.14 as a close approximation.
CSA ≈ 24 * 3.14
CSA ≈ 75.36 square inches
Therefore, the answer is 75.36 square inches.
