A can manufacturer wants to paste a label around a cylindrical can of radius 5 cm and height 12 cm. What is the area of the label if it covers the lateral surface only?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Given:
Radius = 5 cm
Height = 12 cm
By the formula:
Lateral surface area of the cylinder = 2πrh
2 × π × 5 × 12 = 120π
Area of the label = 120π cm²
