Answer:
3,432 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of aluminum in square meters needed to make the mailboxes = 1863(surface area of each mailbox)
Surface area of each mail box = ½(surface area of cylinder) + (Surface area of rectangular prism/box - area of the surface of the box that joins the half-cylinder)
✔️Surface area of ½-cylinder = ½[2πr(h + r)]
r = ½(0.4) = 0.2 m
h = 0.6 m
π = 3.14
Surface area of ½-cylinder = ½[2*3.14*0.2(0.6 + 0.2]
= 0.628(0.8)
Surface area of ½-cylinder = 0.5024 m²
✔️Surface area of the rectangular box/prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)
L = 0.6 m
W = 0.4 m
H = 0.55 m
Surface area = 2(0.6*0.4 + 0.6*0.55 + 0.4*0.55)
Surface area of rectangular box = 1.58 m²
✔️Area of the surface joining the half cylinder and the box = L*W = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24 m²
✅Surface area of 1 mailbox = (0.5024) + (1.58 - 0.24)
= 0.5024 + 1.34
= 1.8424
Amount of aluminum needed to make 1863 mailboxes = 1863 × 1.8424 = 3,432.3912
= 3,432 m²

Simply plug 15/17 into you calculator
and it will give you a decimal, in this case it should be .88235294...
simply move the decimal back to placements and you should have
88.235294... thats still a lot of numbers so just reduce it to 2 places after the decimal and add a percent sign
88.23%
and your done :) this works for any similar problems
I hope this helps
The answer is g) y= 27.6 and x=11
1.5y=41.4
1.5y/1.5=41.4/1.5
y=27.6
