Find the surface area.

Mathematics
1 answer:
denpristay [2]2 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

a rectangular prism (like this brick) has the same basic structure as a cube (like a die) : it has 6 sides.

while a die has 6 equal sides, a rectangular prism has 3 pairs of equal sides :

top and bottom

left and right

front and back

all we have to do is calculate the areas of the 6 rectangles and add them up. that's it.

your remember, the area of a rectangle is

length × width

in our case we have

top and bottom : 2.5×11.5 × 2 = 28.75×2 = 57.5 in²

left and right : 2.5×5 × 2 = 12.5×2 = 25 in²

front and back : 11.5×5 × 2 = 57.5×2 = 115 in²

so, the total surface area of the whole block is

57.5 + 25 + 115 = 197.5 in²

Mrs. Williams is deciding between two field trips for her class. The Science Center charges $135 plus $3 per student. The Dino D
Marianna [84]
Set it up like a regular equation. I used:
3x+135 \ \textless \  6x

As you can see, however, I inserted the "less than" symbol rather than the equal sign because values greater than a certain value can also equal "x". Solve it like a normal equation and you will arrive at:
<u>
</u>x \ \textgreater \  45

This means that, as long as x is greater than 45, "6x" will be greater than "3x+135". Thus, if you bring 46 students, the Science Center will cost less.

At 6:00 A.M. the temperature was 33°F. By noon the temperature had increased by 10°F and by 3:00 P.M. it had increased another 1
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The temperature needs to decrease by 7°F to return to the original temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The temperature starts at 33 degrees then increases by 10 then 12 then decreases by 15 which will equal 40.

33 + 10 = 43

43 + 12 = 55

55 - 15 = 40

40 - 33 = 7

The temperature needs to decrease by 7 degrees.
