Algebra.Com's Answer #383500 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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. = \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. = \n" ); document.write( "S.A. = \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 - \n" ); document.write( " |
