<h2>The surface area of the larger can is 405 square centimeter</h2>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
The ratio of the corresponding linear measures of two similar cans of vegetables is 2 to 3
The smaller can has a surface area of 180 square centimeters
Let the surface area of larger can be "x"
Area is a square measurement
Therefore to find the ratio of the areas, we need to square the ratio of the linear measurements
Therefore, area and above ratio is in proportion
Thus surface area of the larger can is 405 square centimeter
