The diameter of the base of a cylindrical can is 5 inches. The height of the can is 7.5 inches. Determine total area of two bases. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth..
To find the total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can, we need to calculate the area of one base and then multiply it by 2 since there are two bases.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2: r = 5 / 2 = 2.5 inches.
Now we can plug in the radius to find the area of one base: A = π(2.5)^2 = π(6.25) ≈ 19.63 square inches.
Since there are two bases, the total area of the bases is 19.63 * 2 = 39.26 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can is approximately 39.26 square inches.

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate:
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given as 5 inches, the radius would be 5 / 2 = 2.5 inches.
Calculating the area of one base: A = π(2.5)^2 ≈ π(6.25) ≈ 19.63 square inches.
Since there are two bases, the total area of the two bases would be 19.63 * 2 ≈ 39.26 square inches.
Therefore, the corrected total area of the two bases of the cylindrical can is approximately 39.26 square inches.
