Answer:
$10.75 per scarf
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the price and divide by the number of scarves.
$96.75 / 9 scarves
$10.75 per scarf
Answer:
When dividing rational numbers, multiply by the "right" reciprocal. In this case, the "right" reciprocal means to take the reciprocal of the fraction on the right-hand side of the division operator.
The area of the two triangular bases is
(total base area) = 2×(1/2)bh
= bh
= (10 m)(6 m) = 10·6 m² = 60 m²
The area of the three rectangles making up the remaining faces of the prism is
(total lateral area) = length×base + length×height + length×hypotenuse
= length×(base + height + hypotenuse)
= (16 m)(10 m + 6 m + 11.6 m)
= (16 m)(27.6 m) = 16·27.6 m² = 441.6 m²
Then the surface area of the prism is the sum of these
surface area = total base area + total lateral area
= 60 m² + 441.6² = 501.6 m²
When rounded to the nearest whole number, this is
A) 502 m²
Your answer is going to be 55.76$
The base will have the greatest area for a given perimeter if it is square. If the edge of the square base has length x (in feet), then the total material requirement in square feet is
.. m = x^2 +(4/x^2)*(4x)
.. m = x^2 +16/x
This will have a minimum where dm/dx = 0.
.. dm/dx = 2x -16/x^2 = 0
.. x^3 = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by x^2/2 and add 8
.. x = 2
The tank is 2 feet square and 1 ft high.
_____
You will note that it is half the height of a cube that has double the volume. This is the generic solution to all minimum cost open-top box problems. Actually, the costs of pairs of opposite sides are equal to each other and to the cost of the base. If material costs are not identical in all directions, that is the more generic solution.
