a)Find the curved surface area of a closed cylinder petrol storage tank that is 4.2m in diameter and 4.5m in height.
\n" ); document.write( "The curved surface area is the circumference of the tank times the height
\n" ); document.write( "A =\"pi%2A4.2+%2A+4.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "A = 59.376 sq/m
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b)How much steel was used if 1/12 (one twelfth) of the steel was wasted in making the tank.
\n" ); document.write( "The amt of steel to make the tank is the curved surface area plus the bottom and top.
\n" ); document.write( "A = \"2%28pi%2A4.2%5E2%29\" + 59.376
\n" ); document.write( "A = 170.2 sq/m of steel in the tank
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1/12 or .08333 was wasted, therefore 11/12 or .9166 of the total steel = 170.2
\n" ); document.write( ".91666t = 170.2
\n" ); document.write( "t = 170.2/.916666
\n" ); document.write( "t = 185.7 sq/m of steel used to make the tank
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
