document.write( "Question 109743: We have to build and igloo out of 1 gallon jugs for class. It will have an interior diameter of 6 feet + an entry which is a cylender shape on it's side that is to be 3 feet wide and 3 feet long. How do I calculate the outside area so that once I have the demensions of the milk jugs, I can determine how many jugs I need... It would be a dome with an open ended 1/2 cylender?/? \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #79987 by scott8148(6628)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the outside area would depend on the size of the milk jugs\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the inside area is the surface area of a hemisphere with a radius of 3 feet \n" ); document.write( "... S.A.=(4(pi)r^2)/2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the same idea applies to the entry \n" ); document.write( "... the inside area is the surface of a half cylinder 3 feet long, with a diameter of 3 feet \n" ); document.write( "... S.A.=(D(pi)L)/2\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "depending on how the entry \"matches up\" with the dome, there may be an adjustment necessary in the number of jugs \n" ); document.write( "... the jugs from the entry opening in the dome will probably be enough to connect the entry to the dome \n" ); document.write( " |
