61.23 square inches of metal is needed to create a cylindrical can.
Solution:
Diameter of the base = 3 in
Radius of the base = 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 in
Height of the cylinder = 5 in
The value of π = 3.14
<u>To find the surface area of the cylinder:</u>
Surface area of the cylinder =
= 2 × 3.14 × (1.5)² + 2 × 3.14 × 1.5 × 5
= 14.13 + 47.1
Surface area of the cylinder = 61.23 sq. in
Hence 61.23 square inches of metal is needed to create a cylindrical can.
Answer: Company B
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must calculate the area of the carpet. Variable A represents area.
So the area of the carpet is 168 square feet.
To find what company A will charge we will multiply the 168 by 2.75 they charge per square foot.
Company A charges, $462, while Company B will charge $450 for the one room.
This means Company B has the better price.
