Sara needs to cover the top and sides of the cylinder below about how many square inches of paper will sara need? 528 in. 415 in. 207 in. 179 in.

To answer this question, you'll need to find the surface area of the top of the container (which is a circle), along with the surface area of the side of the container.Note that the diameter of the container is given and is 6 inches; therefore, the radius is ... what? Note that the height of the container is 8 inches. 
he radius 3 inches. 
you use that radius (3 inches) to calculate the area of the top of the container 

L = 2πrh 
Look up "area of a circle" or just "circle area." Still need to calculate the area of the top of the container. 

L = 2πrh looks good. Mind defining L in words? Mind substituting r and h to calculate L?L means lateral surface are. i am not sure what you mean by substituting r and h 

The answer 207

True, but now it isn't a little more than  $5,000, it's more than $10,000 due to inflation, higher taxes, and bad economy.
