Diameter of the can = #3# inches.

Explanation:

Given that: The label is 9.42 inches long and the edges of the label go around the can and touch.

That indicates the circumference of the can is equal to the length of the label, = 9.42 inches.

Circumference = #2pi r#, where #r# is the radius of the can.

#=> 9.42 = 2 xx 3.14 xx r#

#=> r = 9.42/(2xx3.14) = 9.42/ 6.28#

#=> r= 1.5#inches

Diameter = #2 xx r = 2 xx1.5 = 3# inches

#therefore # Diameter of the can = #3# inches.
