A company makes paper labels for paint cans. As shown below, each can is in the shape of a cylinder with a height of 9in and a diameter of 8in. The paper label is wrapped around the can and covers only the side of the can (not the top or bottom). If the company makes 15 labels, how many square inches of paper will be needed? Use 3.14 for π, and do not round your answer.

Answer 1

The answer is 326.56 square inches. By using and substituting the values in the formula of Total Surface Area of a cylinder, i.e., 2*pi*(r+h), we get the value 326.56
