Dant thickness of a rupee coin is 1.45 mm what is the total height of the cylinder formed by placing 36 rupees coin one over the other had the answer in centimetre

Answer: 5.22 cm5.22\text{ cm}

Step-by-step solution

Step 1: Calculate the total height in millimetres

Since 3636 identical coins are stacked vertically on top of each other, each with a thickness of 1.45 mm1.45\text{ mm}, the total height is obtained by multiplying the number of coins by the thickness of a single coin. Calculating 36×1.4536 \times 1.45 yields 52.2 mm52.2\text{ mm}.

Step 2: Convert the total height to centimetres

To convert millimetres to centimetres, divide by 1010 because 1 cm=10 mm1\text{ cm} = 10\text{ mm}. Dividing 52.252.2 by 1010 moves the decimal point one place to the left, giving 5.22 cm5.22\text{ cm}.
