The flower box is 5 ft long, and its ends are in the shape of a trapezoid. The upper and lower bases of the trapezoid measure 1
8 in. and 10 in., respectively, and the height is 9 in. Find the volume of the flower box.
1 answer:
Answer:
7560 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello! The first thing that we must take into account to solve this problem is that the volume of any solid is equal to the transverse area by the height, in this case we must find the area of the trapezoid and then multiply it by the height
V=AL
V= Volume
A=area
L=height=9in
finding area of trapezoid
To know what each variable corresponds to, please see the attached file
finally multiply the area by the height of the box(9in)
V=AL
V=(840in^2)(9in)=7560in^3
the volume of the flower box is 7560 in^3

Marilyn's finance charge at the end of the first month will be
$991.38 × 0.199/12 = $16.44
The balance subject to the next month's finance charge will be
$991.38 +16.44 -410.00 = $597.82
The finance charge at the end of the second month will be
$597.82 × 0.199/12 = $9.91
The balance remaining after the second payment will be
$597.82 +9.91 -410.00 = $197.73
The finance charge applied at the end of the third month is
$197.73 × .199/12 = $3.28
so Marilyn can make one final payment of
$197.73 +3.28 = $201.01
to pay off the balance.
In all, Marilyn has paid 2×$410.00 +201.01 =
$1021.01 . . . . . . . . corresponds to the first choice

In real life, Marilyn's credit card may not accrue any finance charge until after the first statement on which the charge appears. Thus the total cost of the purchase may be only $1004.02. The attached spreadsheet shows the beginning balance and the finance charges for each month for the two different scenarios.
