Pi day is March 14th. Using pi as my inspiration for the problems of the month means that you get a bunch of circle problems…
1. Practice: Find the area of a circle with a radius of 5
2. Practice: Find the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 5 and a height of 10
3. Practice: Find the surface area of a cylinder with a radius of 5 and a height of 10
4. Mr. Little drank a can of Dr. Pepper, and then he wondered how much aluminum was used to make the can. If the dimensions of the can are 4.8 inches high and 2.5 inch in diameter, what is the surface area?
5. Mr. Little thought his measurements were a little off. Change these dimensions for the can to centimeters and calculate the volume. The answer is supposed to be 355 cm3… (1 inch = 2.54 centimeters)
6. A men’s basketball has a circumference of 29.5 inches. What is the diameter of the basketball?
7. At Papa John’s a large pizza has a diameter of 16 inches. A medium pizza has diameter of 12 inches. Do you get more pizza from one large pizza or two medium pizzas? How much more?
