Question

This is a cross-sectional view of candy bar ABC. A candy company wants to create a cylindrical container for candy bar ABC so that it is circumscribed about the candy bar. If = 4 cm, what is the smallest diameter of wrapper that will fit the candy bar?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 cm

Explanation:

The figure in the image attached below shows that there are two specific angles that are congruent to each other, angles AD and CD.

We are given the length of one of these angles:

AD= 4 cm so we must multiply 4 by 2, since there are TWO angles measuring 4 cm.

4 cm x 2 angles (AD and CD) =8 cm.
