2. Surface Areas of Prisms and Cylinders
Sign In
Use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.
About 42.5 square meters
The largest beverage can is a cylinder with a height of h= 4.67 meters and a diameter of 2.32 meters. This tells us that the radius of the can is r= 2.322= 1.16 meters.
We are asked to find the surface area of the can and round it to the nearest tenth if necessary. Let's use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.
r= 1.16, h= 4.67
