The sheet of metal has dimensions 56 cm by 33 cm. It sis melted down
and recast into discs of the same thickness and radius 7 cm. How many
disces will be cast ?


Sagot :

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of discs, divide the area of the metal sheet by the area of the discs

The metal sheets are in the shape of a rectangle, thus the area of a rectangle would be used to determine the area of the sheet

Area of a rectangle = length x breadth

56 x 33 = 1848 cm^2

The disc is in the shape of a circle.

area of a circle = πr²

π = 3.14

r = radius

3.14 x 7² = 153.86 cm²

Number of discs = 1848 /153.86 = 12
