The can is made up of aluminium.
So the area of the can must be equal to the area of the Aluminium sheet.
The can is in the form of a cylinder with diameter (d) 5.3 cm, and height (h) 12 cm.
Then its area is calculated as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\pi d(\frac{d}{2}+h) \\ A=\pi(5.3)(\frac{5.3}{2}+12) \\ A=243.9289 \\ A\approx244 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the area of the Aluminium sheet required is 244 square centimeters.
