Question

WILL GIVE 100 points A deli wraps its cylindrical containers of hot food items with plastic wrap. The containers have a diameter of 3.5 inches and a height of 4 inches. What is the minimum amount of plastic wrap needed to completely wrap 6 containers? Round your answer to the nearest tenth and approximate using π = 3.14.

44.0 in2
63.2 in2
379.2 in2
505.5 in2

Answer 1

379.2 in^2

Explanation:

Each cylinder's side area is pi *d * h = 43.98 in^2

you need six : =263.89 in^2

each ned of the cylinder area = pi r^2 = 9.621 in^2

and you have 12 ends for 115.45 in^2

For total : 379.3 in^2 (slight difference due to the value of pi used and rounding)
