We are going to need to know the formula for the lateral surface area and volume of a cylinder in order to find our answers. Below are the equations:
is the height
is the radius
Using these formulas, we can solve these problems.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Circumference is the perimeter of a circle. It can be found using the formula:
However, we are given the radius.
- The radius measures from the center to the edge of the circle.
- The diameter measures from edge to edge through the center.
- So, the diameter is twice the radius, or d=2r
The formula can be rewritten as:
We know the circumference is 25.12 inches.
Let's round pi to 3.14
We want to solve for the radius, so we must isolate it.
Divide both sides by 3.14 because the inverse of multiplication is division.
Divide both sides by 2.
The radius of the disc is <u>4 inches.</u>
