How much paper is used for a label on a can of frosting. The height of the jar is 5 inches and the radius is 1.5 inches

I did SA=2TTrh+2TTr^2
SA=2TT1.5(5)+2TT1.5^2
SA=15TT + 2TT2.25
SA=15TT=4.5TT SA=19.5TT
SA=61.261
SA=61.3in^2
61.3in squared of paper was used for the label
Did I do these steps correctly? Thanks for your help!

To calculate the surface area of the label, your approach using the formula for the surface area of a cylinder was correct. However, there was a mistake in your calculations.

The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is:

SA = 2πrh + 2πr^2

Applying this formula to the given dimensions of the can of frosting:

SA = 2π(1.5)(5) + 2π(1.5)^2
SA = 15π + 2π(2.25)
SA = 15π + 4.5π
SA = 19.5π

Now, let's calculate the approximate numerical value for the surface area:

SA ≈ 19.5 × 3.14 (using π ≈ 3.14)
SA ≈ 61.23 square inches

So, the correct answer is approximately 61.23 square inches, not 61.3 square inches as mentioned in your calculation.
