I need help on solving 3 math problems

A manufactoring firm wants to package it's product in a cylindrical container 3 feet high with a surface area of 8πft2. What should the radius of the circulat top and bottom of the container be?
Hint: The surface area consists of the circular top and bottom and a rectangle that represents the side cut open vertically and unrolled.
 
A can of Blue Runner Red Kidney Beans has a surface area of 371cm2. It's height is 12cm. What is the radius of the circular top? Round to the nearest tenth.
 
A building is 2 feet from a 9 feet fence that surround the property. A worker wants to wash a window in the building 13 feet from the ground. He plans to place a ladder over the fence so it rests against the building. He decides he should place the ladder 8 feet from the fence for stability. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how long a ladder will he need?

Raymond: Verify the ladder problem constraints (base of ladder 8’ from fence) and your subsequent calculations. My solution shows a straight ladder length at 16.4’ long with an angle of inclination of 52.43degrees, and clearing the top of the fence by 1.4’ to meet the window height of 13’ at the building.
