The height of the can is 7.5 in determine total area of two bases round your answer to the nearest hundredth use 3.14 for pi
The formula for the surface area of a cylinder includes the areas of two bases (top and bottom) and the lateral surface area.
The area of one base can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the base. The radius of the base of the can is half of the diameter, so it is 7.5 in / 2 = 3.75 in.
The area of one base is then A1 = π(3.75)^2 = 44.18 in^2.
Since there are two bases of the same size, the total area of the two bases is 2 * 44.18 in^2 = 88.36 in^2.
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the can is approximately 88.36 in^2.
