Question

4. Anthony wanted to make his own soup can label. The soup can is shaped like a cylinder.

The can has a diameter of 16 cm and a height of 8 cm. About how much paper did he

used to create the label?

(If necessary, use PI 3. 14 )

a. 200. 96 cm*2

b. 803. 84 cm*2

C. 401. 92 cm*2

d. 417. 96 cm*2

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

We have to find the surface area of the cylinder

The formula to find this is 2πrh + 2πr²

But we can get rid of the 2πr² since that would be the surface area for the top and bottom of the can; we only want to find the surface area of the paper.

r = 8 (because half of a diameter is the radius, so 16 ÷ 2 = 8)

h = 8

Plug in the given numbers

2(3.14)(8)(8) = 401.92
