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 :)

62 = 9z + 17<br> Solve for Z
Lina20 [59]

Answer : Z = 5

Step-by-step explanation :

62 = 9z + 17

-17 -17

45 = 9z

/9 /9

5 = z

Plug it back in :

62 = 9(5) + 17

62 = 45 + 17

62 = 62

If two cards are drawn without replacement from a 52 card deck, find the probability that the second card drawn is red, given th
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart is 0.1225

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total red cards = 26

Heart cards = 13

Probability of getting red card =\frac{13}{52}

Total remaining card = 51

Remaining red cards = 25

Probability of getting red card in second draw without replacement = \frac{25}{51}

So, the probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart = \frac{13}{52} \times \frac{25}{51} =0.1225

Hence the probability that the second card drawn is red, given that the first card was a heart is 0.1225

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

3.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let r be the simple interest rate per annum.

-Given the total amount after 1 year is 1857.60, the initial amount is 1800

#We use the simple interest formula to find the rate of interest:

Interest=Final\ Amount-Initial\ Amount\\\\=1857.60-1800\\\\=57.60\\\\I=Prt\\\\57.60=1800\times r\times 1\\\\r=\frac{57.60}{1800}\\\\=0.032\\\\=3.2\%

Hence, the annual interest rate on the deposit is 3.2%
