Question

There are 12 cans of soup in a carton. Each can has a

Answer 1

Answer:

The required amount of paper is 2715.23 $cm^{2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cans of soup has a shape of a cylinder, so that;

The surface area around a cylinder = 2$\pi$rh

Where: r is the radius of the can, and h is its height.

From the given question, diameter = 8 cm, then;

radius = $\frac{diameter}{2}$

          = $\frac{8}{2}$

r  = 4 cm

Surface area around one of the cans = 2 x $\frac{22}{7}$ x 4 x 9

                                                = 226.2857

Surface area around one of the cans = 226.28 $cm^{2}$

So that, the total amount of paper required to make labels around each of the 12 cans can be determined by:

12 x 226.2857 = 2715.4284

The required amount of paper is 2715.23 $cm^{2}$.
