Question

a can of olives has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 4 inches. how many square inches of paper will be needed for the label on the outside of the can? use 3.14 for pi. (1 point) 150.72 131.88 376.8 75.36

Explanation:

Step1: Find the radius

The diameter \(d = 6\) inches, so the radius \(r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{6}{2}=3\) inches.

Step2: Calculate the lateral surface area formula

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is \(S = 2\pi rh\).
Substitute \(\pi = 3.14\), \(r = 3\) inches, and \(h=4\) inches into the formula.
\(S=2\times3.14\times3\times4\)
First, \(2\times3.14 = 6.28\).
Then, \(6.28\times3=18.84\).
Finally, \(18.84\times4 = 75.36\) square inches.

Answer:

75.36
