Question 976318: Two small cans of tuna fish which are identical to one another, are stacked on top of each other. The height of the stack is 3 inches, while one individual can has a radius of 1 inch. What is the area of the label of one tuna can that covers only the side of the can without any overlap?
Thanks! I had tried my best to answer this question but it seems too complicated.

--------
Label area = height*perimeter

LA = 1.5*(pi*2) = 3pi sq.in.
