A can of soup in the shape of a cylinder is 10 centimeters tall and has a radius of 3 centimeters. A label covers the entire can except for the top and bottom. What is the surface area of the label? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. You can construct a net of this cylinder on your paper to help determine the area covered by the label. Surface Area of Cylinder: SA = 2πr2+2πrh (1 point)

Question

A can of soup in the shape of a cylinder is 10 centimeters tall and has a radius of 3 centimeters. A label covers the entire can except for the top and bottom. What is the surface area of the label? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. You can construct a net of this cylinder on your paper to help determine the area covered by the label. Surface Area of Cylinder: SA = 2πr2+2πrh (1 point)

Responses:
244.9 cm2
56.5 cm2
188.4 cm2
28.3 cm2

Answer 1

SA = 2π(3)^2 + 2π(3)(10)

SA = 2π(9) + 2π(30)
SA = 18π + 60π
SA = 78π
SA ≈ 244.9 cm2

The surface area of the label is approximately 244.9 cm2. Therefore, the correct answer is 244.9 cm2.
