Answer:

The surface area of each mini muffin that needs to be covered by paper is the lateral surface area of the cylinder plus the area of each circular base. The formula for the lateral surface area of a cylinder is 2πrh, where r is the radius and h is the height. The formula for the area of a circle is πr^2. Using the given dimensions, the radius of each mini muffin is 1 inch, and the height is 1 and 1/4 inches. So the surface area of each mini muffin is: 2π(1)(1 and 1/4) + π(1)^2 = 5π/2 + π = 7.07 square inches (approx.) To wrap 6 mini muffins, we need 6 times this amount of paper: 6 x 7.07 = 42.42 square
