The top and bottom are made of material that costs 6 cents per square centimeter, while the sides are made of material that costs 4 cents per square centimeter. Express the total cost C of the material as a function of the radius r of the cylinder. What will the cost be if the radius is 10 centimeters?\r

You can use the v equation and solve for h and therefore eliminate h as a variable in the s equation.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The cost of the can is only slightly more complicated.
