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 :)

What is the surface area of the right prism?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

The surface area of right prism is 12 feet²  , option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The measure of base = 4 ft

The height of base = 0.5 ft

The surface area of right prism = perimeter of base × height + 2 × base

Now ,

Perimeter of base = 4 + 4 = 8 ft

So, The surface area of right prism = 8 × 0.5 + 2 × 4

Or, The surface area of right prism = 4 + 8

∴ , The surface area of right prism = 12 feet²

Hence The surface area of right prism is 12 feet²  . Answer
