Answer:
30 in
Step-by-step explanation:
See attached image.
The length of AB is 17 (radius). The length of AC is 8 (given info).
AC splits segment BD in half, so point C is the midpoint of segment BD.
AC is perpendicular to the chord, so triangle ABC is a right triangle. You now have a right triangle with a leg of length 8 and hypotenuse of lenght 17.
The Pythagorean Theorem: (leg)^2 + (leg)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2.
That's half the length of the chord, so double that to get 30 inches for the full length of the chord BD.

Given
Base Dimension
Required
The base area of all containers
First, calculate the base area of 1 container.
This is calculated as:
Express as improper fraction
So, we have:
The number of containers is not given. So, I will use 'n' as the number of containers.
So, we have:

Assume n is 3 (i.e. 3 containers)
The total area is:
