Olga is making presents for her teachers and needs to wrap them. She places the gifts in a right circular cylinder with a height of 12 inches and diameter of 6 inches. How much wrapping paper does she need for each gift she is going to wrap? Use 3.14 for π.(1 point)
inches2
To find the amount of wrapping paper needed, we first need to find the surface area of the cylinder.
The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height.
Given that the diameter is 6 inches and the radius is half of that, so the radius (r) is 6/2 = 3 inches.
Plugging in the values, we get:
Lateral surface area = 2 * 3.14 * 3 * 12
Lateral surface area = 6.28 * 36
Lateral surface area = 226.08 inches2
Therefore, Olga will need 226.08 inches2 of wrapping paper for each gift she wraps.
