Describe how the two figures at the right are alike and how they are different. Which box has larger surface area?
A road roller takes 750 complete revolutions to move once over to level a road. Find the area of the road if the diameter of a road roller is 84 cm and length is 1 m.
The road roller is cylinder.
Radius =
Length (h) = 1m = 100 cm
∴ Lateral surface area =
=
=
= 26400 cm2
∴ Area levelled by the roller in 1 revolution = 26400 cm2
or Area levelled in 750 revolutions = 750 x 26400 cm2
=
=
