A can of beans has surface area 320cm squared . Its height is 14 cm. What is the radius of the circular top?

Steps:

All cans take on the shape of a cylinder, unless you have seen interesting shape of cans like a starfish.

The formula for surface area of a cylinder is

SA = 2πr2 + 2πrh

where:

r = radius

h = height

Since we know the surface area and height, we can plug them in.  Note that we can factor out the 2π.  You will see why we factor out 2π rather than 2πr.

2π(r2 + (20)r) = 396

2π(r2 + 20r) = 396

Divide both sides of the equation by 2π to isolate the r terms.

r2 + 20r = 63.025    

Subtract 63.025 on both sides of the equation.

r2 + 20r - 63.025 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for r:

r = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a

where:

a = 1

b = 20

c = -63.025

Plug in these values into the formula.  You should get two solutions because of the plus/minus sign.  Accept the positive value of r.
