The world's largest cookie was baked in North Carolina in 2003. Its diameter was 100 feet and it contained about 6,000 pounds of chocolate chips! If the cookie was a cylinder 1 foot tall, and you wanted to cover it with icing, how many square inches would you have to ice? Use 3.14 for .

16022 square foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The world's largest cookie was baked in North Carolina in 2003. Its diameter was 100 feet and it contained about 6,000 pounds of chocolate chips! If the cookie was a cylinder 1 foot tall, and you wanted to cover it with icing, how many square inches would you have to ice? Use 3.14 for .

We find the surface area of the cylinder

= 2πr(r + h)

r = Diameter /2 = 100 feet/2

r = 50 feet

h = 1 feet

Hence

2 × 3.14 × 50(50 + 1)

= 16022.122533 square foot

= 16022 square foot
