A closed tin can having a volume of 27 in^3 is to be in the form of a right- circular cylinder. If the circular top and bottom are cut from square pieces of tin, what is the radius and height of the can if the least amount of tin is to be used in its manufacture? Include the tin that is wasted when obtaining the top and bottom. *
