Answer:
52 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
When you are calculating the amount of cardboard needed to make a box, you are trying to the the <u>surface area</u>.
The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is:
SA = 2(lw + hl + wh)
The dimensions for the box are written l X w X h (length times width times height).
We know:
l = 4
w = 3
h = 2
The units for surface area is the unit squared. Feet squared is ft². Be sure the include the units.
Substitute these numbers into the formula. When solving, solve in the BEDMAS order (brackets, exponents, division and multiplication, addition and subtraction).
SA = 2(lw + hl + wh) u²
SA = 2((4*3) + (2*4) + (3*2)) ft² Multiply within each smaller bracket
SA = 2(12 + 8 + 6) ft² Add inside the brackets
SA = 2(26) ft² Multiply
SA = 52 ft² Final answer
Therefore 52 square feet of cardboard will be needed to make the box.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for x in 
You need to group and combine like terms and write in standard form:
By comparing to 
, we a=1,b=-2 and c=-46
The solution can be obtained using the quadratic formula.
We substitute the coefficients to get:
The last choice is correct
Answer:
4 pints
Step-by-step explanation:
30 quarts ÷ 15 kids = 2 quarts per kid
there are 2 pints in a quart so..
2 quarts per kid x 2 pints per quarter = 4 pints
