Question

A full step by step explanation would be helpful for this problem.

A pipe is going to be wrapped with an electric heat tape material. This material is used to help prevent the water in the pipes from freezing during cold weather. The manufacturer of the heat tape suggests to have the material wrap around the pipe once for every linear foot of pipe. Assuming that the pipe being wrapped is straight and has a circular cross section with a radius of 2 inches, how much material is needed to wrap 14 feet of pipe?

Explanation / Answer

material needed

= outer area of pipe

= length * perimeter of pipe

= (14*12) * (2*PI*2) {since 14 feet = 14*12 inches)

= 2111.150263 inches^2

=14.6608 foot^2
