To answer this, we assume that the can is in cylindrical shape. The of its label would correspond to an area of a rectangle where the length would be the circumference of the base of the can. We calculate as follows:

C = 2πr = 2π(4) = 8π = L

A = LH = 8π(H) = 302
H = 12 cm

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
