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.
150.72
75.36
131.88
376.8
To find the surface area of the label, we need to find the area of the curved part of the cylinder (the lateral surface area) and the area of the top and bottom circles.
The lateral surface area of the cylinder can be calculated by multiplying the height by the circumference of the base. The circumference of the base can be found by multiplying the diameter by pi: 6 inches * 3.14 = 18.84 inches.
So the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 4 inches * 18.84 inches = 75.36 square inches.
The area of the top and bottom circles can be found by multiplying the radius squared by pi: (6 inches / 2)^2 * 3.14 = 28.26 square inches.
To find the total surface area of the label, we need to add the lateral surface area and the areas of the top and bottom circles: 75.36 square inches + 28.26 square inches + 28.26 square inches = 131.88 square inches.
Therefore, 131.88 square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can.
