Problem 22

A roll of tape is $4$ inches in diameter and is wrapped around a ring that is $2$ inches in diameter. A cross section of the tape is shown in the figure below. The tape is $0.015$ inches thick. If the tape is completely unrolled, approximately how long would it be? Round your answer to the nearest $100$ inches.

$\textbf{(A) } 300\qquad\textbf{(B) } 600\qquad\textbf{(C) } 1200\qquad\textbf{(D) } 1500\qquad\textbf{(E) } 1800$

Solution 1

The roll of tape is $1/0.015=$ 66 layers thick. In order to find the total length, we have to find the average of each concentric circle and multiply it by $66$ . Since the diameter of the small circle is $2$ inches and the diameter of the large one is $4$ inches, the "middle value" is $3$ . Therefore, the average circumference is $3\pi$ . Multiplying $3\pi \cdot 66$ gives $(B) \boxed{600}$ .

Solution 2

There are about $\dfrac{1}{0.015}=\dfrac{200}{3}$ "full circles" of tape, and with average circumference of $\dfrac{4+2}{2}\pi=3\pi.$ $\dfrac{200}{3} \cdot 3\pi=200\pi,$ which means the answer is $\boxed{600}$ .

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 $0.015$ 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 $\pi(\frac{4}{2})^2 -\pi(\frac{2}{2})^2 = 3\pi$ , and we divide that by $0.015$ to get $200\pi$ . Approximating $\pi$ to be 3, we get the final answer to be $200 \cdot 3 = \textbf {(B) } 600$ . -IwOwOwl253

Solution 3 (but kind of different?)

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 $X$ (this is what the problem wants!) and the width is $Y$ . Then, the volume is, of course, $0.015 \cdot X \cdot Y.$ 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, $3\pi \cdot Y.$ Now, since the volume always stays the same, we know that $3\pi \cdot Y = 0.015 \cdot X \cdot Y.$ Cancelling the $Y$ 's give us an equation for $X$ , and if we approximate $\pi$ as $3$ , then $X = \boxed {600}$ . Yay!

Solution 4

If you cannot notice that the average diameter is $3$ , 1. you can still solve this problem by the following method. 2. You stoobid

The same with solution 1, we have $\frac{1000}{0.015}$ layers of tape. If we consider every layers with the diameter $2$ , the length should be $\frac{1000}{0.015}2\pi\approx 400$ . If the diameter is seem as $4$ , the length should be $800$ . So, the length is between $400$ and $800$ , the only possible answer is $\boxed{600}$ .
