Question

Radius of circular base of an ear of corn is 6.6 cm and its length is 11.2 cm. If on an average 1 sqcm area contains 2 corn kernels, find the total number of kernels on a corn.

Answer 1

Answer:

929 kernels

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the curved surface area:

Curved Surface Area = 2πrh

Curved Surface Area = 2π(6.6)(11.2) = 464.64 cm²

Find the number of kernels:

1 cm² = 2 corn kernels

464.64 cm² = 464.64 x 2 = 929 kernels

Answer: There are 929 kernels on a corn.
