The cylinder shown has a lateral surface area of about 400 square inches. Which answer is closest to the measure of the cylinder's radius? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

r = 1.59inch

the radius of the cylinder is

1.59inch

Step by step Explanation

lateral surface of a cylinder can be calculated using the below formula

Surface Area= 2 πr h

We were given area as 400inch^2 and height as 40inch then substitute we have

400 = 2 ×π × r ×40

400= 2×22/7×40

Then do the calculation, where, π

=22/7

400 = r × 251.2

Make r subject of formula we have

r = 400 / 251.2

r = 1.59inch

Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is

1.59inch

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
