A seafood company produces cans of tuna. Each can gets wrapped with a paper label. If every van has a radius of 8.3 centimeters, what is the approximate length of the paper required to cover two cans?

Respuesta :

First, we should find out what the circumference of one can is and then multiply it by two, because they ask us about two cans.

The formula for calculating the circumference is:
C = 2πr

Good news - we have r! r equals 8.3 cm.
So the circumference of one can, hence length of one piece of paper, equals 2π * 8.3 = 16.6π. Length of two pieces of paper is the result of this multiplication: 2 * 16.6π = 33.2π
