ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 12-3
The baking time for bread depends, in part, on
its size and shape. A good approximation for the
baking time, in minutes, of a cylindrical loaf is
, or , where the radius r
and the length h of the baked loaf are in inches.
Find the baking time for a loaf that is 8 inches
long and has a radius of 3 inches. Round your
answer to the nearest minute.
The baking time is approximately 65 minutes.
