Answer 1

Answer:

Area of label = 100 inch² (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of label = 8 inches

Diameter of label = 4 inches

Find:

Area of label

Computation:

Design of label = Rectangle

So,

Width of label = 2πr

Width of label = 2(3.14)(4/2)

Width of label = 2(3.14)(2)

Width of label = 12.56 inches

Area of label = Height of label x Width of label

Area of label = 12.56 x 8

Area of label = 100.48

Area of label = 100 inch² (Approx.)
