The diameter is 8 cm, so the radius is 4 cm.
Let's find the surface area of the can.
SA = pi*r^2*h
SA = pi*4^2*10.5
SA = 168pi
SA = 527.787565803086
The approximate surface area is 527.787565803086 square cm
We need approximately 527.787565803086 square cm of metal. This is assuming we don't have any wasted metal and everything goes perfectly. In the real world, waste is inevitable. So let's round this up to 528 square cm.
