A rectangular piece of sheet metal has an area of 1200 in2. It is going to be bent into a cylinder with volume 600 in3. What are the dimensions of rectangular piece of sheet metal

x=6.28 inches

y=191.08 inches

Step-by-step 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

step-by-step explanation:

-22

times both sides by 2, times () by 8, add alile terms, move terms, add alike and caculate divide both sides by 3
