Question

A machinist is required to manufacture a circular metal disk with area 1300 cm2. (a) What radius produces such a disk

Answer 1

Answer:

Radius r = 20.34 cm

The radius that can produces such a disk is 20.34 cm

Explanation:

Area of a circle;

A = πr^2

A = area

r = radius

Making r the subject of formula;

r = √(A/π) ........1

Given;

A = 1300 cm^2

Substituting into the equation 1;

r = √(1300/π)

r = 20.34214472564 cm

r = 20.34 cm

The radius that can produces such a disk is 20.34 cm
