OR, in this case, you can mentally \"unroll\" the side. Imagine making a vertical cut and then unrolling. What do you end up with? \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Right, you end up a rectangle with sides of 1.45mm and the circumference of the circle making up the front/back.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Net, you have three areas\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of a circle is given by \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of a rectangle is given by \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have everything you need.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can it in from here \n" ); document.write( " |
