Step 1
The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height. We are given that the volume is 432π in^3. Show more…

A cylindrical can is to have a volume of 1800 cubic centimeters. Determine the radius and height which will minimize the amount of material to be used. Note that the surface area of a closed cylinder is S = 2πrh + 2πr^2 and the volume of a cylindrical can is V = πr^2h. Radius: cm Height: cm
