Answer:
0.125 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The volume of a cylinder is equal to
[tex]V=\pi r^{2}h[/tex]
we have
[tex]V=226\ in^3[/tex]
[tex]r=12/2=6\ in[/tex] ----> the radius is half the diameter
[tex]\pi =3.14[/tex]
substitute
[tex]226=(3.14)(6)^{2}h[/tex]
solve for h
[tex]h=226/[(3.14)(6)^{2}][/tex]
[tex]h=1.999\ in[/tex]
Divide the height by the number of saw blade to determine the thickness of 1 blade
[tex]1.999\16=0.125\ in[/tex]
