Archive Question #0119

I am doing a maths investigation about Tubes. First I had to investigate the volume of tubes made out of 32 by 24 card. Then I had to investigate tubes made from different size card but with the are 768cmsquared. I now have all these volumes and need to make a formula. If you can give me any help or advice please do.

Its all about ratios! (nearly all of maths is) You have worked out the volume using the 32x24 card (so you used one number to calculate the area of a circle and the other to calculate the length of the tube to get your volume) in the other experiment you used the area of the card - now you need a formula to relate the area of the card to the volume of the tube. Use numbers for your different variables 1. w x h = area 2. circumference = pi * r*r note that the circumference is the same as your width If you continue to get stuck ask me again and I will make it clearer
