Answer:
108 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let circle A be the circle with the 62 yard diameter
Let circle B be the circle whose diameter we are trying to solve for.
- Externally tangent circles are circles which touch each other and share a common external tangent.
- Circle A has a tangent of 62 yards and thus a radius ( half the diameter) of 31 yards.
- The distance between the centers of the 2 circles is 85 yards. If you subtract the radius ( distance from the center of the circle to its circumference) of circle A then we'll only be left with the radius of circle B.
- 85 - 31= 54 yards which is the radius of circle B
- To get the diameter: 54 x 2 = 108 yards
ANSWER
The volume of the mailing tube is 678.6 square inches to the nearest tenth.
EXPLANATION
The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;
Since the mailing tube is in the form of a cylinder, we use this formula to find its volume.
We substitute h=24 and r=3 to obtain,
