I have attached a screenshot with the images of the two popcorn bags used by the theater.

Part (a):
Bag A:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 3 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 3 * 4 * height
96 = 12 * height
height of bag A = 8 in
Bag B:
Volume of bag = area of base * height
Volume of bag = length * width * height
We have:
volume = 96 in³
length = 4 in
width = 4 in
Therefore:
96 = 4 * 4 * height
96 = 16 * height
height of bag B = 6 in

Part (b):
To determine the amount of paper needed, we will need to calculate the surface of each bag. Excluding the top base, each bag will have 5 faces. Four side faces (each two opposite are equal) and the base.
Bag A:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (3*4) + 2(8*4) + 2(8*3) 
Surface area = 12 + 64 + 48 
Surface area of bag A = 124 in²
Bag B:
Surface area = area of base + 2*area of front face + 2*area of side face
Surface area = (4*4) + 2(6*4) + 2(6*4) 
Surface area = 16 + 48 + 48 
Surface area of bag B = 112 in²
From the above calculations, we can deduce that the theater should choose bag B in order to reduce the amount of paper needed.

Hope this helps :)

1.SCUBA diving set
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope: 2 (so in the equation, it would look like 2x).

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Y-intercept: 10 (12 - 2 = 10, which is 0 hours, possibly the initial amount)

Snorkel, mask, and flippers Slope intercept form: y = 2x + 10

How many minutes are there between 8:20 p.m. and 10:05 p.m.​
Fed [463]

Answer:

105 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

first you would subtract 60 by 20 to get 40 then your time would be at 9:00 so in order to get to 10:00 you would have 60 minutes which you would add the 40 to to get 100 minutes then add 5 to bring your time to 10:05 and your total number of minutes to 105

Cydney built a display stand out of two cubes. The larger cube is 8 inches on each side. The smaller cube is 4 inches on each si
aivan3 [116]
The total area painted was 480 inches. 4 cubed is 64, 8 cubed 512. 512 +64= 576. Then you subtract two sides of the 4 inch square because the bottom is not painted and one side is pushed against the 8 inch cube. That means 576-32= 544. Then you subtract the bottom of the 8 inch cube, which means 544-64= 480.
