Question

2
A student winds a strip of paper eight times
round a cylindrical pencil of diameter 7 mm.
Use the value 22/7 for pie to find the length of
the paper.


​

Answer 1

Answer:

176 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of a circle (length of a circle). The circumference of a circle is given as:

Circumference (C) = 2πr = πd, where d is the diameter

The circumference of a circle with diameter 7 mm is:

C = πd = 22/7(7) = 22 mm

The length of the paper to round the cylindrical pencil is the same as the perimeter of the pencil which is 22 mm.

To round the pencil 8 times, the length of the paper needed = 8 × 22 mm = 176 mm
