Answer:


S=6600\pi \text{ mm}^2


S\approx 20724 \text{ mm}^2

Explanation:

A can of fruit is geometrically a cylinder.

We are talking about the surface area of a cylinder:


S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2


\pi \approx 3.14


r: \text{radius}


h: \text{height}

Factoring, we have:


S=2\pi r (h+r)

Calculating the surface area of the can of fruit:


S=2\pi (30) (80+30)


S=2\pi (30) (110)


S=6600\pi


S\approx 20724 \text{ mm}^2

A = 2(pi)radius(height) + 2(pi)radius squared.

So you basically take your diameter and divide it by 2 to get your radius then input it within this formula
