The diameter of a roller is 84 cm and it's length is 120 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions to move once over to level a playground. Find the area of playground in m².

Respuesta :

we are given

diameter=84cm

so,

radius =r=42cm

height=h=120cm

we know that

shape of roller is always in cylinder form

now, we can find surface area of cylinder

[tex] SA=2\pi r h [/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex] SA=2\pi *42*120 [/tex]

[tex] SA=31667.25395 cm^2 [/tex]

we know that

In one rotation , it covers area is 31667.25395 cm^2

There are 500 rotation

so, total area =[tex] 500*31667.25395 cm^2 [/tex]

total area =[tex] 15833626.975 cm^2 [/tex]

now, we need to change that area into m^2

we know that

[tex] 1cm^2=\frac{1}{10000} m^2 [/tex]

now, we can multiply both sides 15833626.975

we get

[tex] 15833626.975cm^2=15833626.975*\frac{1}{10000} m^2 [/tex]

[tex] 15833626.975cm^2=1583.36270 m^2 [/tex]

so,

Area of playground is [tex] 1583.36270 m^2 [/tex].............Answer
