AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the price for one meter of a tube when the price for one square meter is $9.33. It is clarified that square meters measure area while meters measure length, making the initial question somewhat meaningless. The user seeks to determine the cost of coloring a hollow tube, which has a specific surface area. After calculating the surface area of the tube, it is determined that the price for one meter of the tube is approximately $1.61. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the difference between area and length in pricing.

-----------------------------------------------------------
1m^2 = 9.33 $
1m = ?

cannot be determined because it doesn't make sense ...

$m^2$ is a two-dimensional area; $m$ is one-dimensional length

you can pay \$9.33 for a square meter of carpet, but you can't buy 1 meter of carpet
 
Ohh sorry for my mistake, I forgot to add this picture, Please help me to answer this.

Having been told that a carpet, which covers and area, must be measured in an area measure, like $m^2$, so that you can't buy "1 m" of carpet, and your question is meaningless, why do you ask exactly the same question again?

You have included a picture now, but with no explanation. What is this picture of and what does it have to do with carpets?
 
There is nothing to do with any carpet, This tube which is in this picture has to be coloured, The price for colouring this tube is 1m^2 = 9.33$, I need to find the price for 1m, I know what you mean about "m^2 is a two-dimensional area; m is one-dimensional length", The reason I keep asking is that one guy keeps on asking this answer and I don't know how to get this, this is how I answered but he is telling it is wrong and not giving me the answer, Please help me if you can.

circumference of a circle = $2\pi$ times the radius, or $\pi$ times the diameter

you seem to want the surface area of a hollow tube one meter in length with an approximate diameter of 50.55 units, which I'm assuming are millimeters ... note your cross-section is close to be circular, but is actually an ellipse.

$A = C \cdot L = \pi \cdot d \cdot L \approx \pi \cdot (0.055 \, m) \cdot (1 \, m) \approx 0.173 \, m^2$

based on that area ...

$\dfrac{\$ 9.33}{1 \, m^2} = \dfrac{\$ x}{0.173 \, m^2} \implies x \approx \$1.61$
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
