Question 849097: A standard 12 oz soda can has a volume of 355 ml. It can be molded by a right circular cylinder with radius r and height h.
A). Determine a formula for the total (side plus top and bottom) surface area of the can as a function only of r. The variable h should not appear in your answer.
B). determine the value of r that gives the least amount of surface area and therefore requires the least amount of metal.
C). do real can have these dimensions? if not, give a reasonable explanation.
