#104.34 cm#

Explanation:

To find the length of the paper needed to cover a can, one needs to know the circumference of the can. This is because the paper will be wrapped around the can which is the same as the circumference of the can.

Given, #r# = #8.3 cm#
Circumference of a a circle = #2pir#

Therefore, circumference of 1 can = #2pixx8.3# = #52.17 cm#

Sp, length of paper needed for 2 cans = circumferences of both cans = #2 xx 52.17# = #104.34 cm#
