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 :)

\huge\mathrm{Answer࿐}

  • \sin(30)  +  \csc(60)

  • \dfrac{1}{2}  +  \dfrac{2}{ \sqrt{3} }

  • \dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} }

To remove √3 from denominator, we multiply both numerator as well as denominator with √3

  • \dfrac{ \sqrt{3 } + 4 }{2 \sqrt{3} }  \times  \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{ \sqrt{3} }

  • \dfrac{3 + 4 \sqrt{3} }{6}

Find Lateral Surface area
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

To find the lateral surface area, we will find half of the perimeter of the base and multiply it by the slant height of the side triangles. Each triangle has a slant height. The slant height is the height of each triangle, not the height of the pyramid.
