A can manufacturing company is designing a can of cat food to hold 5.5 oz, or about 163 cm3. They have written out that the equation for the surface area for a can with this volume is S=2πr2+163r. Explain why the equation is wrong and how to fix it.

S = 2πr + 326/r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 163cm³

Required

Explain why S = 2πr² + 163r is not correct

The volume (V) of a cylinder is:

V = πr²h (1)

And the surface area (S) is:

S = 2πr² + 2πrh (2)

Make h the subject in (1)

h = V/πr²

Substitute V/πr² for h in (2)

S = 2πr² + 2πr(V/πr²)

Simplify the express in bracket

S = 2πr² + (2πrV)/(πr²)

S = 2πr² + 2V/r

Substitute 163 for V

S = 2πr + 2 * 163/r

S = 2πr + 326/r

The above shows the correct equation that solves the surface area and also shows how it was fixed by substituting proper values and following due process.

it has changed from the width and the height.
