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 (Use 3.14 for π.)

5in on top of the cylindrical and 7.5in on the right side

A.19.63 square inches

B.39.25 square inches

C.78.50 square inches

D. 157.00 square inches

The total area of the two bases can be calculated as follows:

Area of one base = πr^2, where r is the radius of the base (half of the diameter)
Area of one base = 3.14 * (5/2)^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * 6.25
Area of one base = 19.625 square inches

Total area of both bases = 2 * (19.625)
Total area of both bases = 39.25 square inches

Therefore, the total area of the two bases is 39.25 square inches, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

The answer is B. 39.25 square inches.

are you sue i dont want wrong answer

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's calculate it again to ensure the accuracy of the answer.

Given:
Diameter of the base = 5 inches
Radius of the base = 5/2 = 2.5 inches
Height of the can = 7.5 inches

The total surface area of the two bases can be calculated as follows:

Area of one base = πr^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * (2.5)^2
Area of one base = 3.14 * 6.25
Area of one base ≈ 19.625 square inches

Total area of both bases = 2 * 19.625
Total area of both bases ≈ 39.25 square inches

Therefore, the total area of the two bases is approximately 39.25 square inches.

So, the correct answer is : B. 39.25 square inches.

I hope this clears up any confusion, and I appreciate your patience. Thank you.
