The minimum amount of paper Jacob needs to cover the entire can is 678.6 cm²

The radius (r) of the can is 6 cm and the height (h) of the can is 12 cm. Hence:

Surface area (SA) = 2πr² + 2πrh

SA = 2π(6)² + 2π(6)(12)

SA = 678.6 cm²

The minimum amount of paper Jacob needs to cover the entire can is 678.6 cm²
