A paint can has a diameter of 17 centimeters and a height of 24 centimeters. What is the surface area of the can?

1,494.64 cm2

2,775.76 cm2

4,377.16 cm2

1,734.85 cm2

The answer is 1734.85

I'm going to use 3.14 in place of pi, otherwise the answer won't be one of the options.

Area of a can is:

A = 2 (pi) rh + 2 (pi) r^2

Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius, you get 8.5

A = 2 (3.14) (8.5) (24) + 2 (3.14) (8.5^2)

A = 1734.85
