Problem
A white cylindrical silo has a diameter of 30 feet and a height of 80 feet. A red stripe with a horizontal width of 3 feet is painted on the silo, as shown, making two complete revolutions around it. What is the area of the stripe in square feet?

Solution 1
The cylinder can be "unwrapped" into a rectangle, and we see that there are two stripes which is a parallelogram with base 
and height 
, each. Thus, we get 
==Solution 2 (Complement Counting)== Like in Solution 1 "unwrap" the lateral surface of the cylinder into a rectangle, the width of the rectangle is the circumference of the circular base which is 
. And the length is just the height of the cylinder, 
. Now if we don't see that the stripe is just a parallelogram we can calculate the area of the two right triangles with legs and 
, and subtract our result from the total area of the rectangle to get the area of the stripe. Thus the area of the stripe is 
80\times(30\pi-3))/2)
3\times40\times2=240\Rightarrow\boxed{\mathrm{(C)}\ 240}$ ~blankbox
