Answer:

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions to solve this.  Put the height of the object over the shadow.  Change the height of the object to inches

Alonzo

5 ft 11 inches = 5 ft *12 inches/ft + 11 inches = 60 inches + 11 inches = 71 inches

2 ft shadow = 2* 12 inches/ ft = 24 inches

Basketball goal

4 ft 4 inches =  4 ft *12 inches/ft + 4 inches = 48inches + 4 inches = 52 inches

Alonzo             Basketball      

71 inches         x inches tall

------------   = --------------------

24 inches     52 inches

Using cross products

71*52 = 24*x

Divide each side by 24

71*52/24 = 24x/24

923/6 =x

Lets change this to a mixed number

6 goes into 923  153 times   with 5 left over

153  5/6 inches

Now we need to change inches to feet

How many time does 12 go into 153  12 times  (12*12 =144  with 9 left over)

12 ft  9 5/6 inches

Can someone help answer this question Ive tried a lot and couldnt do it.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

1222

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a triangular prism on top of a rectangular prism.  The surface area is the sum of the areas of the exposed faces.

Starting with the triangular prism, the surface area is the area of the two triangular bases plus the area of the two rectangular sides (the bottom rectangular face is ignored).

A = ½ (10) (12) + ½ (10) (12) + (13) (9) + (13) (9)

A = 60 + 60 + 117 + 117

A = 354

The surface area of the rectangular prism is the area of the two rectangular bases (front and back), plus the two walls (left and right), plus the bottom, plus the top (minus the intersection with the top prism).

A = (19) (11) + (19) (11) + (9) (11) + (9) (11) + (19) (9) + (19) (9) − (10) (9)

A = 209 + 209 + 99 + 99 + 171 + 171 − 90

A = 868

So the total surface area is:

354 + 868
