Your friend is wrapping 1 meter of twine around a spool with a 2-centimeter diameter. The spool is thin and accommodates only one wrap of twine before the twine stacks on top of itself. The twine has a diameter of 1 2 centimeter, which increases the diameter of the spool by 1 centimeter with each wrap. a. Find how many complete times your friend will wrap the twine around the spool. b. Find the percentage of a complete circle that the last wrapping of the twine will make. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

    a) 6 complete times

    b) 19.3%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In every turn, the diameter of the twine increases 1 cm.

    After the first turn, there is a total wrapped of 3.14*2=6.3 cm.

    After the second turn, we have wrapped 6.3+3.14 * (2+1) = 15.7 cm.

    If we continue with these algorithm, we have that after the 6th turn we have 84.8 cm wrapped. This is the last complete turn.

    T = 0 D = 2 cm. Wrapped = 6.3 cm. Total wrapped = 6.3 cm.

    T = 1 D = 3 cm. Wrapped = 9.4 cm. Total wrapped = 15.7 cm.

    T = 2 D = 4 cm. Wrapped = 12.6 cm. Total wrapped = 28.3 cm.

    T = 3 D = 5 cm. Wrapped = 15.7 cm. Total wrapped = 44 cm.

    T = 4 D = 6 cm. Wrapped = 18.8 cm. Total wrapped = 62.8 cm.

    T = 5 D = 7 cm. Wrapped = 22.0 cm. Total wrapped = 84.8 cm.

    T = 6 D = 8 cm. Wrapped = 25.1 cm. Total wrapped = 110 cm.

    There are left (100-84.8) = 15.2 cm to wrap around the twine, which has a 25.1 cm diameter by now.

    The perimeter of the twine is 3.14*25.1=78.8 cm.

    The percentage of a complete circle that the last wrapping of the twine will make is:

    P = 15.2/78.8 = 0.193 = 19.3%
