We’re not sure what we did to deserve this cruel and unusual punishment…
- 00:30
…but we must have done SOMETHING to be charged with this community service project.
- 00:34
This one’s pretty simple…all we need is to know the formula for the surface area of a cylinder.
- 00:39
The formula in question is 2 pi r squared plus length times pi 2r…
- 00:45

The answer is 21 cans and that's choice B…and we’re done.
