SUMMARY

The price for coloring a hollow tube with a surface area of approximately 0.173 m² is calculated based on a rate of $9.33 per m². Given the formula for surface area, the cost for 1 meter of the tube is approximately $1.61. The discussion clarifies that while 1m² is a measure of area, 1m is a measure of length, making direct price comparisons invalid without context. The calculation involves using the circumference of the tube and its length to derive the surface area.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of geometric concepts such as area and circumference
  • Familiarity with the formula for surface area of a cylinder
  • Basic knowledge of unit conversions (e.g., meters to millimeters)
  • Ability to perform algebraic calculations involving proportions
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the formula for the surface area of a cylinder
  • Learn about unit conversions between square meters and square millimeters
  • Explore practical applications of area pricing in construction and manufacturing
  • Investigate how to calculate costs based on surface area for various materials
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, engineers, construction professionals, and anyone involved in pricing materials based on surface area calculations.

If 1m^2 price is 9.33 $ then what's the price for 1meter?
-----------------------------------------------------------
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 ...

$\dfrac{\$ 9.33}{1 \, m^2} = \dfrac{\$ x}{0.173 \, m^2} \implies x \approx \$1.61$
