A cylindrical can has a radius of 6 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the area, in square centimeters, of a rectangular label that completely covers the curved surface of the can without over-lapping? Select:
A) 16 pi
B) 64 pi
C) 96 pi
D) 144 pi
E) 576 pi
They are asking the lateral surface area of the cylinder.   the Lateral surface area = 2* pi * r *h   = 2*pi*6*12=144 pi   Answer is 144 pi.
