A can of olives has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. How many square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can? Use 3.14 for pi.(1 point)
The label will need to wrap around the entire side of the can, so its width will be equal to the circumference of the can's base. The circumference of a circle can be found by multiplying the diameter by pi, so the circumference of the can's base is 6 inches * 3.14 ≈ 18.8 inches.
The height of the label will be equal to the height of the can, which is 4 inches.
To find the total area of the paper needed for the label, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle formed by the label. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length × width. The length of the rectangle is equal to the circumference of the can's base, which is 18.8 inches, and the width of the rectangle is equal to the height of the can, which is 4 inches.
Therefore, the total area of the paper needed for the label is 18.8 inches × 4 inches = <<18.8*4=75.2>>75.2 square inches.
So, 75.2 square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can.
