What are the surfaces on the coin?
\n" ); document.write( "You have the front, the back and the rim. The front and back are the same -- just the area of a circle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The rim (side) can be found using formulas for surface area of cylinders. 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( "\"Surface+area+=+AreaFront+%2B+AreaBack+%2B+AreaSide\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2%2AAreaFront+%2B+AreaSide\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of a circle is given by \"A=pi%2Ar%5E2\" . we are given the diameter, so we need to divide by 2 to get the radius.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The area of a rectangle is given by \"A+=+Length%2AWidth\". We are given the width and need to calculate the length. The length is just the circumference. Circumference is given by \"C=pi%2Ad\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have everything you need.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+2%2A%28pi%2A%2823.05%2F2%29%5E2%29++%2B+%28pi%2A23.05+%2A+1.45%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can it in from here
