3.2 Olwethu has seen a cylindrical holder which can be used to store coasters. A coaster
is a small tray or mat to place under a glass to protect the table from moisture.
Each coaster has a radius of 50 mm and a height of 6 mm.
Each holder can accommodate exactly 8 coasters with no space at the top. The holder
is made of plastic material, 5 mm thick.

3.2.1 The holder will have a decorative ribbon around it. The ribbon will be
2 cm longer than the circumference of the holder so that a bow can be tied
in the ribbon.
Calculate the total length (in cm) of ribbon needed for one holder.
You may use the following formula:
Total length of ribbon = z x diameter + overlap, and using 1 = 3,142 (4)
3.2.2 (a) Write down the inner radius (in mm) of the cylindrical holder. (2)
(b) — Hence, calculate the space needed in the holder to fit exactly
8 coasters.
You may use the following formula:
