Answer:
[tex]154 $\ m^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
If 88 m of long rope is wrapped twice around the base of the drum, the circumference of the drum is 44m. We can use this information to find the radius of the base.
Find the Radius
The equation for circumference is [tex]C=2\pi r[/tex]. We can substitute the value we found for circumference into the equation:
[tex]44=2\pi r[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2
[tex]22=\pi r[/tex]
Divide both sides by π
[tex]r=\frac{22}{\pi}[/tex]
Use the Radius to find the Area
The area of a circle is [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]. We can substitute the value we found for the radius into the equation:
[tex]A=\pi (\frac{22}{\pi})^2\\[/tex]
[tex]A=\pi (\frac{22}{\pi})(\frac{22}{\pi})[/tex]
[tex]A=22*\frac{22}{\pi}[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{484}{\pi}[/tex]
[tex]A\approx154[/tex]
