@eSpeX I changed my circles and I am stuck on the ones blank. I will attach what I have so far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After this I am working on the prisms for rectangles. I need to delete this attachments so people don't copy me. after we are done ok after I close it

OpenStudy (espex):

My first question to you is, what is the formula for circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

other computer keeps freezing. ok it is 2 x pi (3.14) x r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area is pi x r ^2

OpenStudy (espex):

Okay, and what can you rewrite 2r as?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume is pi x r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as the dinomenator or circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or am I confused?

OpenStudy (espex):

Think more basic, what is twice the radius?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm diameter??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are my answers so far right?

OpenStudy (espex):

Exactly, so you can write your circumference as Dpi, look at your column of circumferences, what values do you have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

values? mm??

OpenStudy (espex):

For your nickel you have: Circ = 21.2

OpenStudy (espex):

Does that seem right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 x pi x r^2 + 2 x pi x h to find the surface of half dollar ? with my numbers for it can you help me plug the numbers in then I will solve it? I just need to see the r^2 and h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the circumference of the nickel 65.94 mm?

OpenStudy (espex):

I got 66.602, but the difference could be due to rounding. You see however that it was not 21.2. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I need to find the radius not the diamter to solve for circ for each. U sed the diam. not radius. yes I see how it wasn't correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it all wrong for each column?

OpenStudy (espex):

For the circumference, 2r pi, you can rewrite that is d pi, since the diameter is equal to 2r.

OpenStudy (espex):

Yes, all of the circumferences need to be calculated again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I can use the given diam to find the circ by d x 3.14 = ?

OpenStudy (espex):

See what I have done here? Look at the formulas, if you are going to use excel, let it work for you.

OpenStudy (espex):

And yes, to your last question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or should i just figure out the radius for each?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I yeah I want to use excel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am going too look at your attachment just sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried to open your attachment but my computer crashed. Uggg let me try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nickel 66.568 Q = 76.3 half dollar = 94.5 dime = 56.206 penny = 61.23 for the circumferences right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i couldn't pull up your attach : (

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@eSpeX

OpenStudy (espex):

Yes, you have all your circumferences correct now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (espex):

Now what about your area, which implies the area of a face.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times it by 2?

OpenStudy (espex):

In your cell, for the area of a nickel, you can put your formula in like this: =PI()*(24.26/2)^2

OpenStudy (espex):

oops, that is the quarter. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks I will put it in

OpenStudy (espex):

That is just the formula for an area of a circle. You are taking pi, and multiplying it by the diameter, divided by 2, squared.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for a cylinder?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two faces

OpenStudy (espex):

I would interpret this to want the area of 1 face, because it also asks for the surface area, which is both faces and the edge.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok think I have this wrong. I plugged in the numbers for area of nickel. I got this 104.51176

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi x 66.568 / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

squared

OpenStudy (espex):

The area of a nickel should be pi, times 21.2/2, squared. Where did you get 66.568?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used the calculation form diam.

OpenStudy (espex):

66.568 is the circumference. Not something you can use in that formula you typed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Pi x 21.2 /2 equal 33.284

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are the formulas for surface area and volume if I need to redo all ?

OpenStudy (espex):

21.2 is your diameter (d), your radius (r) is 1/2 of 'd'. You don't need to redo all, you have the formulas, look at them and verify the number you are using.

OpenStudy (espex):

I have to head out for a bit but I will be back later this afternoon. Work on these, you have everything you need, just slow down and think about each variable and what it means.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks so much! I will tag if after I am completely done if you can take one last look at them when I tag you?

OpenStudy (espex):

This is really just an exercise in plugging and chugging.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you!!!
