Here are the areas of the 12 rectangular surfaces that make up the surface area of the podium:
7.5 x 1.5 = 11.25 square feet (Bottom)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Bottom Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Right/Left Flat)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Top Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Top Front/Back)
2.5 x 1.5 = 3.75 square feet (Top)
7.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 22.5 (Bottom Front and Back)
The area of all these surfaces is 61.5 square feet.
Add the numbers and divide by 5 to get a mean of 6.4
8 - 6.4 = 1.6
4 - 6.4 = -2.4
7 - 6.4 = 0.6
8 - 6.4 = 1.6
5 - 6.4 = -1.4
Add the absolute value of each: 1.6 + 2.4 + 0.6 + 1.6 + 1.4 = 7.6
Divide by 5 = 1.52
1.5
7+2=2+6 because 7+2=8 and 2+6 is = to 8 as well
Answer:
1) 5/6
2) 18/10 (mixed fraction is 8)
3) 13/6 (mixed fraction is 6⅙)
