HELP ASAP

You work at a canning factory that's producing cans for a new brand of soup. You need to decide what size the cans should be. The soup cans can have a radius of either 2 in, 2.5 in, 3 in, or 3.5 in. The cans need to hold a volume of exactly 90 in3. The company wants the cans to be no more than 5 inches tall, and it wants the cans to have the greatest lateral surface area possible so it can print more information on the side of the cans.

To solve this problem, you will fill in this table with the surface area and volume of each cylinder:

a. First, calculate the height each can must be, given the radius and volume.

b. Now calculate the lateral surface area for each possible can.

c. Based on the requirements for the can, which can should you make?
