Question 375376: A cylinder 126 cm high has a circumference of 24 cm. A string makes
exactly 7 complete turns round the cylinder while its two ends touch the
cylinder's top and bottom. How long is the string in cm? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each turn of the string is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
The base is the circumference = 24 and the 2nd side is 126/7 = 18 cm
Length = 210 cm
