If the top of the paint container is made of plastic, how much plastic is used to make the top? Assume the thickness of the plastic is negligable. Round to the nearest square inch.
Incomplete.
To calculate the amount of plastic used to make the top of the paint container, you first need to determine the area of the top surface.
The top of the paint container can be considered as a circular shape. The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius.
To find the radius of the circular top, you will need some measurements. If you know the diameter of the top, divide it by 2 to get the radius. If you only have the circumference of the top, divide it by 2π to get the radius.
Once you have the radius, you can plug it into the formula A = πr² to find the area of the top surface. Make sure to use the value of π to sufficient precision (3.14 is commonly used).
After calculating the area, you will have the amount of plastic used for the top surface in square inches.
