A 50% increase is just taking the original amount and adding half of that towards the amount.

Example : 50% of 100 is 50 so a 50% increase to 100 would be 150

a formula for this would be X + (1/2×X) = Y

in your case we're working backwards with the known being 60

We can just plug in reasonable values for X until we get 60

50% of 40 is 20

40 + 20 = 60

so the original amount was 40

A company manufactures aluminum mailboxes in the shape of a box with a half-cylinder top. The company will make 1863 mailboxes t
forsale [732]

Answer:

3433 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we have a rectangular box without cover and half a cylinder on top.

Formula for surface area of rectangular box with top is;

S = 2(lh + wh + lw)

From the image,

l = 0.6 m

w = 0.4 m

h = 0.55 m

Thus;

S = 2((0.6 × 0.55) + (0.4 × 0.55) + (0.6 × 0.4))

S = 1.58 m²

Now, since the top is not included for this figure, then;

Surface area of this rectangular box is;

S1 = 1.58 - (lw) = 1.58 - (0.4 × 0.6) = 1.34 m²

Surface area of a cylinder is;

S = 2πr² + 2πrh

r is radius and in this case = 0.4/2 = 0.2 m

h = 0.6

S = 2π(0.2² + (0.2 × 0.6))

S = 1.005 m²

Since it is half cylinder, then we have;

S2 = 1.005/2

S2 = 0.5025 m²

Total surface area; S_t = S1 + S2

S_t = 1.34 + 0.5025

S_t = 1.8425 m²

This is the surface area of one mail box.

Thus, for 1863 mailboxes, total surface area is;

S = 1863 × 1.8425 = 3432.5775 m²

Approximating to the nearest Sq.m gives;

S = 3433 m²

Alex73 [517]

Answer:  3528.25

Step-by-step explanation:Make a sideview sketch

you should have 2 triangles, one right-angled containing the height and a scalene triangle with angles 24° , 153° (the supplement of 27°) and 3°

the side opposite the 3° angle is 1000

by let the side opposite the 24° be x, (also the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle)

x/sin24 = 1000/sin3

x = 1000sin24/sin3

let the height of the mountain be h

sin 27 = h/x

h = x sin27 = (1000sin24/sin3)(sin27)

= 3528.25
