A can of beans is shown. A dashed line drawn across the top of the can is labeled seven centimeters. The height of the can is labeled eleven and six tenths centimeters.

How much tin was used to make the can rounded to the nearest square centimeter? Use 3.14 for π.

Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

332 cm²

Explanation:

You want to know the surface area of a tin can that is 7 cm in diameter and 11.6 cm high.

Surface area

The area of a cylinder is given by the formula ...

SA = πd(d/2 +h) . . . . . where d is the diameter and h is the height

Application

Using the given values, d=7 and h=11.6, we find the area to be ...

SA = (3.14)(7 cm)(3.5 +11.6 cm) ≈ 332 cm²

About 332 square centimeters of tin are required to make the can.
