Jose is wrapping a stack of 100 coins in a paper holder. Each coin is 18 inch thick and has a diameter of 1 inch. How many square inches of paper will Jose need to cover the stack of coins? Use 3.14 for π. Enter your answer in the box.

The surface area for this case is given by:
 A = 2 * pi * r ^ 2 + 2 * pi * r * h
 Where,
 r: radius of the coins
 h: height of the coin stack.
 Substituting values we have:
 A = 2 * 3.14 * (1/2) ^ 2 + 2 * 3.14 * (1/2) * (100 * (1/8))
 A = 40.82 in ^ 2
 Note: the correct thickness of the coins should be 1/8 in.
 
 Jose will need 40.82 in ^ 2 to cover the stack of coins
