A can of beans has surface area 363 cm^2. Its height is 10 cm. What is the radius of the circular top?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "total surface area=area of side+area of top+area of bottom
\n" ); document.write( "let r=radius
\n" ); document.write( "area of side=height*circumference of circular ends=10*2πr=20πr
\n" ); document.write( "area of top and bottom=2*πr^2
\n" ); document.write( "20πr+2πr^2=363
\n" ); document.write( "2πr^2+20πr-363=0
\n" ); document.write( "solve for r using following quadratic formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "a=2π, b=20π, c=-363
\n" ); document.write( "ans: r≈4.098 cm
\n" ); document.write( "
