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 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 a annulus(The shaded region between 2 circles with the same center), meaning the area of the circle is equal to the area of the rectangle. The area of the annulus is
, and we divide that by
to get
. Approximating pi to be 3, we get the final answer to be
