Answer:
10.205 inches²
Explanation:
What is being described is essentially a cylinder (like a tin can)!
Note: for this question let's assume the paper's thickness doesn't matter
If there's 100 coins, each being 1/8 inch thick
The height of the cylinder must be 100 * 1/8 = 12.5 inches
To find the area of the bottom and top of our cylinder let's first calculate 1 side:
The area of a circle = π × r²
area = π × (1/8)² = π/16 inches²
two circles is just double the area: 2 * π/16 = π/8
Now that we know the height and the area of the top + bottom
We can now use the cylinder formula for surface area
A = 2πrh + 2πr² (notice how we've already done 2πr² with our circles!)
A = 2 × π × 1/8 × 12.5 + π/8
A = (13π) / 4 = (13 × 3.14) / 4 = 10.205 inches²
