Answer:

224π

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the cylinder, h = 14 cm

The diameter of the cylinder, d = 8 cm

The radius, r = d/2

The radius, r = 8/2

r = 4 cm

The volume of the cylinder is given as:


\begin{gathered} V=\pi r^2h \\ V=\pi*4^2*14 \\ V=\pi*16*14 \\ V=224\pi cm^(3) \end{gathered}

Note that the amount of paper needed to cover the container will be equal to the volume of the container

Therefore, the amount of paper needed is 224π
