a) \"+Area+=+pi%2Ar%5E2+\" so \"+900pi+=+pi%2Ar%5E2+\" —> \"+900+=+r%5E2+\" —> \"+highlight%28r+=+30cm%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "b) For a tolerance of +/- \"+10cm%5E2+\", the Area A can fall in this range: (approx) \"+896.8%28pi%29cm%5E2+%3C=+A+%3C=+903.2%28pi%29cm%5E2\" so the radius can vary over the range \"+sqrt%28896.2%29+%3C=+r+%3C=+sqrt%28903.2%29+\"cm
\n" ); document.write( "or approx. \"+29.937+%3C=+r+%3C=+30.053+\" cm so that means the radius can vary approx. \"+-0.063+%3C=+v+%3C=+0.053+\" cm from the ideal (v = variation from ideal).\r
