NICE!!!!
AREA OF RIBBON If we remove the ribbon and lay it flat, we see that it is a rectangle. So, to find the area, we need its length and width. The width = x
The length of the ribbon is equal to the circumference of the cylinder. Circumference = 2(pi)(radius) So, the length = 2(pi)(n)
Area of ribbon = (length)(width) = 2(pi)(n)(x)
----------------------------------------- AREA OF CYLINDER BASE The base is a circle Area of circle = (pi)(radius)² So, area of base = (pi)(n)²
The area of the ribbon is equal to the area of the base of the cylinder. We get: 2(pi)(n)(x) = (pi)(n)² To simplify this, first divide both sides by pi to get: 2(n)(x) = (n)² Next, divide both sides by n to get: 2x = n
Great! We're ask to compare the following: Quantity A: x Quantity B: n
Since 2x = n, we can replace n with 2x to get: Quantity A: x Quantity B: 2x Quantity B is greater.
