    Answer: 49.09 cm2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formulas:

    Circumference of a circle = π x diameter = 3.14159x 3 1/8 = 9.81746 in

    The circumference of the can is equal to the length of the rectangular label:

    Surface area (S) = circumference (length) x height

    Replacing with the values given:

    S = 9.81746 x 5 = 49.09 cm2

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
