Problem 22
A roll of tape is 
inches in diameter and is wrapped around a ring that is 
inches in diameter. A cross section of the tape is shown in the figure below. The tape is 
inches thick. If the tape is completely unrolled, approximately how long would it be? Round your answer to the nearest 
inches.
Solution 1
The roll of tape is 
66 layers thick. In order to find the total length, we have to find the average of each concentric circle and multiply it by 
. Since the diameter of the small circle is inches and the diameter of the large one is inches, the "middle value" is 
. Therefore, the average circumference is 
. Multiplying 
gives 
.

Solution 2
There are about 
"full circles" of tape, and with average circumference of 
which means the answer is 
.
Solution 3
We can figure out the length of the tape by considering the side of the tape as a really thin rectangle that has a width of inches. The side of the tape is wrapped into an annulus(The shaded region between 2 circles with the same center), meaning the area of the shaded region is equal to the area of the really thin rectangle.
The area of the shaded region is 
, and we divide that by to get 
. Approximating 
to be 3, we get the final answer to be 
.

Solution 3 (kind of different?, but fun!)
The volume of the tape is always the same, but we can either calculate it when the tape is unrolled as a really long, thin rectangular prism, or we can calculate it as a cylinder with a hole cut out of it. When we calculate it as a long rectangular prism, we can say that the length is 
(this is what the problem wants!) and the width is 
. Then, the volume is, of course, 
Now, notice that the "width" of our rectangular prism is also the "height" of our cylinder with a hole cut out of it. Then, we can calculate the volume as base times height, or in this case, 
Now, since the volume always stays the same, we know that 
Cancelling the 's give us an equation for , and if we approximate as , then 
. Yay!
Solution 4
If you cannot notice that the average diameter is ,
you can still solve this problem by the following method.
The same with solution 1, we have 
layers of tape. If we consider every layers with the diameter , the length should be 
. If the diameter is seem as , the length should be 
. So, the length is between 
and , the only possible answer is .
