Algebra.Com's Answer #102306 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A life saver has a 3 cm diameter, a 1 cm diameter hole and has 1/2 cm height. Find the volume and total surface area of the life saver. (Just like the candy lifesaver) That is what the pic looks like. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "The approach to this problem: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Use the volume (V1) of a cylinder (V=pi*r^2*h) to find the volume if it did not have a hole \n" ); document.write( "Then find the volume (V2)of the material removed to form the hole, also a cylinder. Subtract V2 from V1 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "r = 1.5; h = .5 \n" ); document.write( "V1 = pi*1.5^2*.5 \n" ); document.write( "V1 = 3.5343 cu/cm \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "r = .5; h = .5 \n" ); document.write( "V2 = pi*.5^2*.5 \n" ); document.write( "V2 = .3927 cu/cm \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "3.5343 - .3927 = 3.1416 cu/cm is the volume of the life saver \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Surface area approach: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Find the surface area of a cylinder, ignoring the hole. \n" ); document.write( "Find area of the 2 circles that form the hole. Subtract from the total surface area. \n" ); document.write( "Find the area of the sides of the cylinder forming the hole.
