The height of the carton of oatmoatmeal is 9 inches.

Explanation:

Radius = 4 inches

Area of cardboard used = 276 square inches

Required surface area = π(r x r) + 2πrh

276 = π(4 x 4) + 2π(4 x h)

276 = 16π + 8π(h)

276 = 50.24 + 25.12(h)

276 - 50.24 = 25.12(h)

225.76 = 25.12(h)

(225.76) /(25.12) = h

h = 9 inches

The height of the carton of oatmoatmeal is 9 inches.
