To answer this question, you'll need to find the surface area of the top of the container (which is a circle), along with the surface area of the side of the container.Note that the diameter of the container is given and is 6 inches; therefore, the radius is ... what? Note that the height of the container is 8 inches. <span>he radius 3 inches. </span> <span>you use that radius (3 inches) to calculate the area of the top of the container </span>
<span>L = 2πrh </span> <span>Look up "area of a circle" or just "circle area." Still need to calculate the area of the top of the container. </span>
<span>L = 2πrh looks good. Mind defining L in words? Mind substituting r and h to calculate L?L means lateral surface are. i am not sure what you mean by substituting r and h </span>
