Answer:
x=6.28 inches
y=191.08 inches
Explanation:
Let the dimensions of the rectangle be x and y
Area of the rectangular sheet
x*y=1200 in^2}
x = circumference of the cylinder
This means x=2πr
Volume of a cylinder=πr^2h
h=y
Volume of the cylind=πr^2(y)=600 in^3
From x=2πr
r=x/2π
Substitute r=x/2π into Volume=πr^2(y)=600 in^3
We have,
Volume of the cylinder=πr^2(y)=600 in^3
π*(x/2π)^2(y)=600
(x^2/4π)y=600
Recall, x*y=1200
y=1200/x
Substitute y=1200/x into (x^2/4π)y=600
(x^2/4π)y=600
(x^2/4π)(1200/x)=600
1200x/4π=600
Multiply both sides by 4π
(x^2/4π)(1200/x)(4π)=600*4π
1200x=2400π
Divide both sides by 1200
1200x/1200 = 2400π/1200
x=2π
Substitute x=2π into y=1200/x
We have,
y=1200/2π
y=600/π
The dimensions are x=2π and y=600/π
Let π=3.14
x=2π
=2(3.14)
=6.28 inches
y=600/π
=600/3.14
=191.08 inches
