Textbook Question
Chapter 14.6, Problem 10P
A city has a large cone-shaped Christmas tree that stands 20 feet tall and has a diameter of 15 feet at the bottom. The lights will be wound around the tree in a spiral, so that each “row” of lights is about 2 feet higher than the previous row of lights. Approximately how long a strand of lights (in feet) will the city need? To answer this, it might be helpful to think of each 'row' (one “wind") of lights around the tree as approximated by a circle. Explain your reasoning.
