Question
A rectangular sheet of paper 40cm x 22cm, is rolled to form a hollow cylinder ofheight 40cm. The radius of the cylinder(in cm) is
Solution
To find the radius of the cylinder, we need to use the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. The surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula:
Surface Area = 2ฯrh + 2ฯr^2
In this case, we know that the height of the cylinder is 40cm. We also know that the rectangular sheet of paper, when rolled, forms the lateral surface of the cylinder. The length of the rectangular sheet is equal to the circumference of the base of the cylinder, which is 2ฯr.
So, the length of the rectangular sheet is 2ฯr = 40cm.
To find the radius, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r:
r = (40cm) / (2ฯ)
Now, we can calculate the value of r using a calculator:
r โ 6.37 cm
Therefore, the radius of the cylinder is approximately 6.37 cm.

How much toilet paper is left on the roll? The volume of a cylinder with length โโ and radius r๐ is given by the formula:ฯโr2๐โ๐2 ย You've got some time on your hands, so you carefully measure your toilet roll and discover its dimensions to the nearest mm:length โ=100โ=100 mm,radius of the inner cardboard cylinder r=30๐=30 mm, andradius of the outer cylinder R=51๐ =51 mm.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย The volume of toilet paper on the roll is thus given by the formula:V(โ,r,R)=ฯโ(R2โr2)๐(โ,๐,๐ )=๐โ(๐ 2โ๐2) .ย ย According to your measurements, the volume of toilet paper is (to the nearest cubic mm):V(100,30,51)=๐(100,30,51)= mm3.However, since your initial measurements were only accurate to the nearest mm, the true volume of toilet paper may be different.ย The total differential approximation can be used to estimate how the measured volume V(100,30,51)๐(100,30,51) differs from the true value of V(โ,r,R)๐(โ,๐,๐ ) as:ย V(โ,r,R)โV(100,30,51)+โVโโ(100,30,51)(โโ100)+โVโr(100,30,51)(rโ30)+โVโR(100,30,51)(Rโ51)๐(โ,๐,๐ )โ๐(100,30,51)+โ๐โโ(100,30,51)(โโ100)+โ๐โ๐(100,30,51)(๐โ30)+โ๐โ๐ (100,30,51)(๐ โ51) .ย We calculate the partial derivatives (to the nearest integer):โVโโ(100,30,51)=โ๐โโ(100,30,51)= โVโr(100,30,51)=โ๐โ๐(100,30,51)= โVโR(100,30,51)=โ๐โ๐ (100,30,51)= .Since we measured โ,rโ,๐ and R๐ to the nearest mm,|โโ100|<0.5,|rโ30|<0.5|โโ100|<0.5,|๐โ30|<0.5 and |Rโ51|<0.5|๐ โ51|<0.5 .Using the integer approximations above together with the triangle inequality,ย |V(โ,r,R)โV(100,30,51)|โคโฃโฃโVโโ(100,30,51)โฃโฃ|(โโ100)|+โฃโฃโVโr(100,30,51)โฃโฃ|(rโ30)|+โฃโฃโVโR(100,30,51)โฃโฃ|(Rโ51)||๐(โ,๐,๐ )โ๐(100,30,51)|โค|โ๐โโ(100,30,51)||(โโ100)|+|โ๐โ๐(100,30,51)||(๐โ30)|+|โ๐โ๐ (100,30,51)||(๐ โ51)| .ย And so our measured volumeย V(100,30,51)๐(100,30,51) differs from the true volume by|V(โ,r,R)โV(100,30,51)|โค|๐(โ,๐,๐ )โ๐(100,30,51)|โค mm3.To two decimal places, this represents an approximate error of no more than|V(โ,r,R)โV(100,30,51)|V(100,30,51)โค5.26%|๐(โ,๐,๐ )โ๐(100,30,51)|๐(100,30,51)โค5.26% .
