how many square feet of aluminum materials will be needed in order to construct an open top right cylindrical tank which is 6 feet high and has a diameter of 2 feet, if only 5% of the total surface of the cylinder is to be allowed for waste?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The equation for the surface area of an open top cylinder
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = \"2pi%2Ar%2Ah\" + \"pi%2Ar%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "However the round bottom will be cut out of a 2 by 2 ft square, which would have some waste.
\n" ); document.write( "The side would be a rectangle so no waste there.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This cylinder will have a radius of half the diameter (1 ft) and a height of 6 ft
\n" ); document.write( "S.a. = side + square for the bottom
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = \"2pi%2A1%2A6\" + 2^2
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = \"12pi+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 37.7 + 4
\n" ); document.write( "S.A. = 41.7 sq/ft required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Waste from the round bottom: 4 - \"pi%2A1%5E2\" = .86 sq/ft wasted
\n" ); document.write( "\".86%2F41.7\" *100 ~ 2% wasted

\n" );
