Question

A stack of 16 saw blades fits snugly in the carton shown. What is the thickness of 1 blade? Round your answer to 3 decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 1/8 in

Answer 2

0.125 inches

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

`V=\pi r^(2)h`

we have

`V=226\ in^3`

`r=12/2=6\ in` ----> the radius is half the diameter

`\pi =3.14`

substitute

`226=(3.14)(6)^(2)h`

solve for h

`h=226/[(3.14)(6)^(2)]`

`h=1.999\ in`

Divide the height by the number of saw blade to determine the thickness of 1 blade

`1.999\16=0.125\ in`
