Answer:

87.96 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The soup can is a cylinder, and we can find how many square inches the label will take up by finding the lateral surface area

Use the formula, LA = 2 $\pi$ rh

The diameter is 4 inches, so the radius is 2 inches

Plug in the radius and height into the formula, and solve:

LA = 2 $\pi$ rh

LA = 2 $\pi$ (2)(7)

LA = 28 $\pi$

= 87.96

So, the label will take up approximately 87.96 square inches
