A cast-iron pipe has an external diameter of 75 mm. If it is 4.2 m long, find the area of the outer surface.

open square brackets Assume space straight pi equals 22 over 7 close square brackets

Solution
External diameter = 75 mm

therefore External radius (r) = 75 over 2 space mm equals 37.5 space mm
                            
                                 equals fraction numerator 37.5 over denominator 10 end fraction space cm equals 3.75 space space cm

Length of the pipe (h)
= 4.2 m = 4.2 x 100 cm = 420 cm Area of the outer surface = 2πrh
equals 2 cross times 22 over 7 cross times 3.75 cross times 420 equals 9900 space cm squared.
