Celina is buying fabric scraps to make koozies for her glasses. Each glass is cylindrical with a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 8 inches. The koozies will cover only the sides of the glasses. What is the amount of fabric she will use? What does this amount represent? Use three point one four for pi. Show your work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We are trying to find the lateral area of cylinders, do you know how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the glass is a cylinder. You want to cover the sides area. Area of the side is 2*pi*r*h. Diameter equals to 2r, so r is 1.5 inches. therefore if you plug the numbers in you get 37.68

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The formula is: \[la = 2\pi r^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did i do that right @jcpd910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Almost, the formula requires r^2, not height. Close though! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agh its confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So: 2 * 3.14 * 4 = 25.12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SA= 2(area of the bases +area of the side) = 2(area of the circles + area of the rectangle) =2 {[ 2(pi d^2)/4] + lw} = 2{[2(3.14)(4^2)/4] +(4)(8)} =114.24 sq. inches Its not ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are solving for the surface area my friend. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And, wait, that's way off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmao yea idek what im thinking now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No but we were both wrong, derp.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was solving for the circumference or something dorky

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry to confuzzle you >_<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would it be lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37.68, he was right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just derped up and made a mess of things. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh ok lol at least u were just trying to make sure it wasnt wrong!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
