A peanut manufacturing company pays $0.02 per square inch of label used on its cylindrical peanut containers. Each container has a radius of 1.5 inches and a height of 2.5 inches. If the label covers the lateral area of the container, how much would it cost to produce 150,000 labels?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to find lateral area for this, and multiply it with cost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The lateral area is the base times the height, right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lateral area = \(2 \pi r h\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 pi 1.5 *2.5

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use pi = 3.14

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2*3.14*1.5*2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, 23.5619

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply it with price

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

did u use pi = 3.14 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

23.55*0.02=

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.471

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply it with number of labels required

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70650! thx(:

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
