Answer:
The answer is 0.8 in^2
Explanation:
Data
diameter = 0.835 in
thickness = 0.077in
Roll of $ 2.00
Procedure
1.- Find the total number of nickels
# of nickels = 2/ 0.05
# of nickels = 40
2.- Calculate the Circumference
C = 2*pi*r
r = 0.077/2
r = 0.0385
C = 2*3.14*0.0385
C = 0.242 in
3.- Calculate the area of the thickness
Area = 0.242* 0.077*40
Area = 0.745 in^2
4.- Calculate the area of the base and the top
Area = 2*pi*r^2
Area = 2*3.14*(0.0382)^2
Area = 0.0093 in^2
5.- Calculate the total area of the roll
Total area = Area of the thickness + Area of the base and top
Total area = 0.745 + 0.0093
Total area = 0.7543 in^2 This is the result
Rounding to the nearest tenth = 0.8 in^2
