A can of carrots has a diameter of 2.5 inches and a height of 3.5 inches. How many square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can? Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest inch. (1 point)
27 in .^ 2
67 in .^ 2
35 i * n ^ 2
O 24 i * n ^ 2
To find the surface area of the can's label, we need to calculate the area of the curved surface.
The circumference, or the length of the curved surface, can be found by multiplying the diameter by pi: 2.5 inches x 3.14 = 7.85 inches.
Therefore, the curved surface area of the can is 7.85 inches x 3.5 inches = 27.47 square inches.
Rounding to the nearest inch, the answer is 27 square inches.
So, the correct answer is: 27 in.^2.
