Question 152828: A cylindrical soup can is 4 inches tall and has a radius of 1 1/5inches. What is the area of a label that will completely cover the side of the can, with no overlap (not including the top and bottom) Answer by orca(409) (Show Source):

its width is 4 inches.
its length is the same as the perimeter of the top or bottom circles. it can be found by:
