Question 346646: Suppose you have a pipe with a circumference of 8 cm and length of 30 cm and that 8 turns of wire are wrapped around the pipe. What is the length of the wire? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming you mean that the wire makes it turns along the 30 cm length:
8 times the circumference is the base and the 30 cm is a side of a right triangle.
The hypotenuse is the length.
L =~ 70.68 cm
