You need to make a soda can with a volume of 29 cubic inches.
Find the surface area. calculate the following:
a) How much material is needed if the can's radius is 1 inch?
let the height be h
volume = πr^2h
π(1^2)h = 29
h = π/29
the surface area are
top + bottom + rectangle forming the outside of the cylinder
= 2πr^2 + 2πrh
= 2P(1) + 2π(1)(π/29)
= .....
= 64.28319 in^2
thank you!
To find the surface area of a soda can, we need to consider the two circular ends and the cylindrical body.
1. Calculate the surface area of the circular ends:
Each end of a soda can is a circle. The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. Since there are two ends, we need to multiply the area of one end by 2.
Given the radius (r) of the can as 1 inch, we can calculate the area of one end:
A_end = π(1^2) = 3.14 square inches
Since there are two ends, multiply the area by 2:
A_ends = 2 * 3.14 = 6.28 square inches.
2. Calculate the surface area of the cylindrical body:
The formula to calculate the lateral surface area of a cylinder is A_lateral = 2πrh, where A_lateral is the lateral surface area, r is the radius, and h is the height.
In this case, the height of the can is not provided, so we cannot calculate the exact lateral surface area. However, let's assume the height is 5 inches for demonstration purposes.
A_lateral = 2π * 1 * 5 = 31.42 square inches
The total surface area is the sum of the areas of two ends and the lateral surface area:
Total Surface Area = A_ends + A_lateral = 6.28 + 31.42 = 37.7 square inches.
Therefore, if the soda can's radius is 1 inch, the total surface area would be approximately 37.7 square inches.
