the question is so vague to me so in the answer do I include any type of formula?

anonymous · Answer

They are describing something that looks like a soda can but the top is like half a globe. So if you were making that what dimensions to make it the smallest possible

anonymous · Answer

So you would need the surface area of a right circular cylinder but missing a top and topped with the surface area of a half globe
