The answer is: 45 sandals.
_________________
Explanation: 
_________________
The ratio of:
__________________
shoes : sandals = 8:5
_____________________
We want to know how many SHOES were sold; if 72 sandals were sold.
__________________________
→ 8:5 = x:72 ; in which "x" = number of shoes were sold;
____________________
We can write this as:
___________________
→ 8 / 5 = x / 72; 
___________________
→ Cancel the "8" to a "1"; and change the "72" to a "9"; since "8 * 9 = 72" ;
______________________
→ and rewrite as:  1 / 5 = x / 9 ; 
____________________________
→ SInce "1/5" = 0.2 ; write as: 0.2 = x / 9 ↔  (0.2) x = 9 ;
__________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "(0.2)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x' ; 
___________________________________
→ (0.2) x / (0.2) = 9 / (0.2) ; → to get: 45.
_____________
The answer is: 45 sandals.

Anita plans to cover a solid cone with construction paper for a science project. The cone has a diameter of 11 inches and a slan
galben [10]

Answer:

587.18 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we are given the following values

Diameter = 11 inches

Radius = Diameter/2 = 11 inches/2 = 5.5 inches

Slant height = 28.5 inches.

We were asked to find how many square inches of paper will she need to cover the ENTIRE cone.

To solve for this, we would use formula for Total Surface Area of a Cone

Total Surface Area of a Cone = πrl + πr²

= πr(r + l)

Using 3.14 for π

Total Surface Area of a Cone

= 3.14 × 5.5( 5.5 + 28.5)

= 3.14 × 5.5 × (34)

= 587.18 in²

Therefore, Anita will need 587.18 square inches of paper to cover the entire cone.

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?​
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>The surface area of the prism is A prism=204m2</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is the space that is contained in a two-dimensional figure.

Surface area is the total area of all of the sides and faces of a three-dimensional figure.  

To find the surface area, the area of each face is calculated and then add these areas together.

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width .

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 8 m. Therefore, the area of the bottom face is

From the graph the length of the rectangle is 10 m and the width is 5 m. Therefore, the area of one of the rectangular side faces is

To find the area of a triangle use the following formula  where b is the base and h is the height.

From the graph the base of the triangle is 8 m and the height is 3 m. Therefore, the area of one of the triangular faces is

The surface area of the prism is the sum of the area of the bottom face, the area of the two rectangular side faces, and the area of the two triangular faces
