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

To answer this, we assume that the can is in cylindrical shape. The of its label would correspond to an area of a rectangle where the length would be the circumference of the base of the can. We calculate as follows:

C = 2πr = 2π(4) = 8π = L

A = LH = 8π(H) = 302
H = 12 cm

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
