Answer:
[tex]180.4~cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface Area
The surface area of a cylinder of height h and radius r is given by:
[tex]A=2\pi rh[/tex]
It only covers the lateral side of the cylinder. If both the top and the bottom sides are to be included, then:
[tex]A=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2[/tex]
The label will cover only the lateral side of the soup can that has a height of h=8.5 cm and a diameter of 6.5 cm. We need to calculate the radius which is half of the diameter r=6.5 cm / 2 = 3.25 cm.
Now we calculate the side area of the can:
[tex]A=2\pi (3.25)(8.5)[/tex]
[tex]A=173.6~cm^2[/tex]
We need to add the 0.8 cm overlap to the total area already calculated. This overlap has 0.8 cm of width and 8.5 cm of height, so this overlap area is:
[tex]A_o= 0.8*8.5=6.8~cm^2[/tex]
The total area of the label is:
[tex]A=173.6~cm^2+6.8~cm^2=180.4~cm^2[/tex]
The area of the label is [tex]\mathbf{180.4~cm^2}[/tex]
