First, we need to calculate the surface area of one cake pop.
The formula for the surface area of a sphere is:
A = 4πr²
Given that the diameter of the cake pop is 3 cm, the radius (r) is half of that, so r = 3/2 = 1.5 cm.
Now we can plug in the values and calculate the surface area of one cake pop:
A = 4 * 3.14 * (1.5)²
A = 4 * 3.14 * 2.25
A = 4 * 7.065
A = 28.26 cm²
Now we can divide the total chocolate surface area by the surface area of one cake pop to find out how many cake pops can be covered:
750 cm² / 28.26 cm² ≈ 26.53
Armin can cover approximately 26 cake pops in chocolate.
Armin is making cake pops. He has enough chocolate to cover 750 cm². If a cake pop has a diameter of 3 cm, how many cake pops can he cover in chocolate? Use 3.14 as the value of pi
