Question

Find the height of a soup can if the area of the label is 302 square centimeters and the radius of the can is 4 centimeters. Round to the nearest whole number. show work please

Answer 1

The surface area of the label is a rectangle. Imagine that you take th elabel off of the can, unrolled it, and layed it flat. The formula for finding its area would be base times height, just like any other rectangle. The height is the heigh of the can, and the base is the circumference of the lid.

C=2 pi r
C=2 pi (4)
C=8pi

302=Ch
302=8 pi h
h=12.732

Round to nearest whole number: 13 cm
