To meet the required cylinder area of 11in211 \mathrm{in}^{2} within 0.01in20.01 \mathrm{in}^{2}, the cylinder diameter xx must be held in the interval [3.730,3.754][3.730, 3.754] inches.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. The ideal cylinder diameter is c=3.742 c = 3.742 inches.
2. The cross-sectional area A A of the cylinder is given by the formula A=π(x2)2 A = \pi \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 , where x x is the diameter of the cylinder.
3. The required cross-sectional area is 11in2 11 \mathrm{in}^2 .
4. The allowable deviation in area is 0.01in2 0.01 \mathrm{in}^2 .
5. We need to find the interval for x x such that the area A A is within 0.01in2 0.01 \mathrm{in}^2 of the required area.

STEP 2

First, we need to establish the range for the area A A that is acceptable. This range is from 110.01 11 - 0.01 to 11+0.01 11 + 0.01 .
110.01A11+0.0111 - 0.01 \leq A \leq 11 + 0.01

STEP 3

Now, we substitute the formula for A A into the inequality.
110.01π(x2)211+0.0111 - 0.01 \leq \pi \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 \leq 11 + 0.01

STEP 4

Simplify the inequality by subtracting 11 11 from all parts of the inequality.
0.01π(x2)2110.01-0.01 \leq \pi \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 - 11 \leq 0.01

STEP 5

Divide all parts of the inequality by π \pi to isolate the term with x x .
0.01π(x2)211π0.01π\frac{-0.01}{\pi} \leq \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 - \frac{11}{\pi} \leq \frac{0.01}{\pi}

STEP 6

Add 11π \frac{11}{\pi} to all parts of the inequality to isolate the squared term.
0.01π+11π(x2)20.01π+11π\frac{-0.01}{\pi} + \frac{11}{\pi} \leq \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 \leq \frac{0.01}{\pi} + \frac{11}{\pi}

STEP 7

Calculate the numerical values for the left and right endpoints of the inequality.
0.01π+11π3.4784\frac{-0.01}{\pi} + \frac{11}{\pi} \approx 3.4784 0.01π+11π3.5016\frac{0.01}{\pi} + \frac{11}{\pi} \approx 3.5016

STEP 8

Now, we take the square root of all parts of the inequality to solve for x x .
3.4784x23.5016\sqrt{3.4784} \leq \frac{x}{2} \leq \sqrt{3.5016}

STEP 9

Multiply all parts of the inequality by 2 2 to solve for x x .
23.4784x23.50162\sqrt{3.4784} \leq x \leq 2\sqrt{3.5016}

STEP 10

Calculate the numerical values for x x .
23.47843.7332\sqrt{3.4784} \approx 3.733 23.50163.7512\sqrt{3.5016} \approx 3.751

STEP 11

Round the left endpoint up and the right endpoint down to the nearest thousandth as needed.
x[3.733,3.751]x \approx [3.733, 3.751]
Therefore, the diameter x x must be held within the interval [3.733,3.751] [3.733, 3.751] inches to meet the requirements for the area.
