Jolene put a poster for her friend in a cylindrical mailing
tube and wants to cover the lateral surface of the tube with
wrapping paper. The mailing tube is 28 inches long and has a
diameter of 3 inches. What are the dimensions of the smallest
piece of wrapping paper that will cover the lateral surface?

Answers:
A 3 in. by 28 in.
B 6 in. by 28 in.
C 1.5π in. by 28 in.
D 3π in. by 28 in.

Answer 10

Just out of curiosity, what answer did you get?

Answer 11

The lateral surface of a cylinder is shaped like a rectangle.

Answer 12

Think of that cylinder as being a can of food with a paper label.

Answer 13

If you slit the paper along the height of the cylinder, then you can unwind the paper label.
