How to find the surface area of certain 3 dimensional shapes

1 answer:

5 0

There are formulas for the area of triangles, various quadrilaterals, regular polygons, sections of circles and spheres (including whole circles and spheres). In general, you make use of the appropriate formula or combination of formulas for the shape of interest.

If the shape does not conform to one of these, but is described by a formula, then methods of calculus (integration) can be used to find the surface area.

A few of the relevant formulas are
.. triangle area = (1/2)bh . . . . b = base length; h = height measured perpendicular to the base
.. rectangle or parallelogram area = bh . . . . b and h defined as for a triangle
.. trapezoid area = (1/2)(b₁ +b₂)h . . . . b₁ and b₂ are the lengths of the parallel bases, h is the perpendicular distance between them
.. circle area = π*r^2 . . . . r is the radius
.. sphere area = 4π*r^2 . . . . r is the radius
.. lateral area of a cone = π*rh . . . . r is the radius of the base, h is the slant height

What is the difference of the two polynomials? (9x2 + 8x) – (2x2 + 3x) A 7x2 + 5x B.7x2 + 11x C.11x2 + 5x D.11x2 + 11x

xxTIMURxx [149]

we have

$(9x^{2} + 8x)-(2x^{2} + 3x)$

Remove parentesis

$9x^{2} + 8x-2x^{2} -3x$

Combine like terms

$9x^{2} -2x^{2} + 8x -3x$

$7x^{2} + 5x$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$7x^{2} + 5x$

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The mean of the number of people ordering the program is 22,046.5 and the standard deviation is 4,651.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Past history shows that 33.00% of the time fewer than 20,000 people order the program

This means that X = 20000 has a pvalue of 0.33. So when X = 20000, Z = -0.44.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$-0.44 = \frac{20000 - \mu}{\sigma}$
