The height of the can is 9 in..
Step-by-step explanation:
The can of peas below has a surface area of 180.64 cm^2. If the diameter of the can is 5 inches.
Height of the can??
we know that
The surface area of the cylinder (can of peas) is equl to
SA=2\pi r^{2}+2\pi rh
we have
SA=180.64\ in^{2}
r=5/2=2.5\ in ----> the radius is half the diameter
assume
\pi=3.14
substitute and solve for h
180.64=2(3.14)(2.5)^{2}+2(3.14)(2.5)h
180.64=39.25+15.70h
h=[180.64-39.25]/15.70
h=9\ in.
