Four identical cylindricak tins are tied together bx a rubber band. If r = 14cm, how long is the rubber band?

Answer 1

are they tied end to end?
length=2*2r+4*length*2

tied to each other in a group?

length=2PIr+4*2r

draw the figure and check me on that

Answer 2

Hint:
Take 4 identical coins (e.g. 4 quarters) and place them together so they are locked into each other.
Now make a sketch then draw the rubber band around them.
Lots of geometrical properties showing up here.

Answer 3

Yes they are tied together
