Answer 1

Answer:

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = 565.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of paper role = 10 inch

Height of paper role = 13 inch

Find:

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role

Computation:

Radius of paper role = Diameter of paper role / 2

Radius of paper role = 10 / 2

Radius of paper role = 5 inch

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = Total surface area of cylinder

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = 2πr(h+r)

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = 2(3.14)(5)(13+5)

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = (3.14)(10)(18)

Amount of plastic need to cover paper role = 565.2 inches
