Jenny uses a roller to paint a wall. The roller has a radius of 1.75 inches and a height of 10 inches. In two rolls, what is the area of the wall that she will paint. Use 3.14 for pi

Answer :

In two rolls, 219.8 square inches of wall she will paint

Solution:

Given that,

Jenny uses a roller to paint a wall

The roller has a radius of 1.75 inches and a height of 10 inches

We have to find the area of the wall that she will paint in two rolls

Find the lateral surface area of cylinder

[tex]A_L = 2 \pi r h[/tex]

Where, "r" is the radius and "h" is the height

From given,

r = 1.75 inches

h = 10 inches

Substituting the values we get,

[tex]A_L = 2 \times 3.14 \times 1.75 \times 10\\\\A_L = 6.28 \times 1.75 \times 10\\\\A_L = 109.9[/tex]

Thus lateral surafce area is 109.9 square inches

For two rolls,

Area = 2 x 109.9 = 219.8

Thus in two rolls, 219.8 square inches of wall she will paint
