Wrench Sockets

You work for Ingersoll Rand and are on the team releasing the new set of wrench sockets shown
above with sizes 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 26, and 27mm. These sockets are 60mm tall cylinders with a
hexagonal prism cut out on one end (where the head of the bolt or screw goes) and a cube cut out of
the other (where it attaches to the handle). The cube cut outs are inch long on each side. The
hexagonal prism cut outs are all 1-inch-deep, but the size of the hexagonal base is dependent on the size
written on the side of each socket. For example, the socket with 16mm on the side means that the
hexagon has a height of 16mm (careful, this is not the height of the prism, but the height of the base).
The radius of the cylinder is 2mm more than the radius of the hexagon. These sockets are completely
covered in a black powder coat (similar to paint, but more durable). It is your job to figure out how
much powder coating is needed, in square inches, per set. (It might be helpful to know that 1 inch is
25.4mm)
