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
376.8
150.72
131.88
75.36
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder is given as 2πrh + 2πr², where r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height.
Given that the diameter of the can is 6 inches, the radius would be half of that, which is 3 inches.
We can substitute these values into the formula:
Surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 4 + 2 * 3.14 * 3² = 75.36 inches².
Therefore, the answer is 75.36.
