Answer:

218 cm²

Explanation:

Can of soup has a radius of 3.4 centimeters. Can is 10.2 centimeters tall, what is the approximate area of the label that wraps around the can?

The formula to solve the above question is given as:

The curved or the lateral surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh

Where:

r = 3.4 cm

h = 10.2 cm

The curved or the lateral surface area of the cylinder = 2 × π × 3.4 cm × 10.2 cm

= 217.9 cm²

Therefore, the approximate area of the label that wraps around the can is

218 cm².
