A soup can has a 3 and one eighth in diameter and is 5 in tall. What is the area of the paper that will be used to make the label of the can if the paper covers the entire lateral surface​ area? Use 3.14159 for pi.

Respuesta :

Answer: 49.09 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:

Circumference of a circle = π x diameter = 3.14159x 3 1/8 = 9.81746 in

The circumference of the can is equal to the length of the rectangular label:

Surface area (S)= circumference(length) x height  

Replacing with the values given:

S = 9.81746 x 5 = 49.09 cm2
