A manufacturing firm wants to package its product in a cylindrical container

2ft. high with surface area 6ft^2.

What should the radius of the circular top and bottom be?

To solve the problem above, we will be using the equation in solving the surface area of a cylinder which goes. A = 2pi r^2 + 2pi r h, A is for the surface area, pi is 3.1416; h is the height and r is the radius. Basing on this formula the radius will be 0.3982 ft both top and bottom.
