Armin is making cake pops. He has enough chocolate to cover 750 cm2 . If a cake pop has a diameter of 3 cm, how many cake pops can he cover in chocolate? Use 3.14 as the value of pi
First, we need to find the surface area of one cake pop:
Surface area of a sphere = 4πr^2, where r is the radius of the sphere (in this case, half of the diameter)
Radius = 3 cm / 2 = 1.5 cm
Surface area = 4 * 3.14 * (1.5)^2 = 4 * 3.14 * 2.25 = 28.26 cm^2
Now, we can find out how many cake pops Armin can cover in chocolate:
750 cm^2 / 28.26 cm^2 ≈ 26.56
Therefore, Armin can cover approximately 26 cake pops in chocolate.
are you sure
Let's correct the calculation:
The surface area of one cake pop is 28.26 cm^2.
Now we can find out how many cake pops Armin can cover in chocolate:
750 cm^2 / 28.26 cm^2 ≈ 26.54
Therefore, Armin can cover approximately 26 cake pops in chocolate.
