Question

The can shown has a diameter of 3 inches and a height of 5 inches. Find the lateral surface area of the can.

Answer 1

Lateral surface area of can = 47 inch² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of given can = 3 inches

Height of given can = 5 inches

Find:

Lateral surface area of can

Computation:

Radius of can = 3 / 2 = 1.5 inch

Lateral surface area of can = Lateral surface area of cylinder

Lateral surface area of cylinder = 2πrh

Lateral surface area of can = 2πrh

Lateral surface area of can = 2(3.14)(1.5)(5)

Lateral surface area of can = 47.1

Lateral surface area of can = 47 inch² (Approx.)
