Answer:
The correct answer is 27.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's start by analyzing the information we have.
We know that Greta has a piece of clothi that is 9 yards long and has cut it into equal pieces that are 1/3.
Now, to know how many pieces of cloth Greta has, we just have to divide 9 by 1/3.
Remember that to divide fractions, you must multiply crosswise. Under the number 9 there will be a 1 as denominator. Then the division would be as follows:
In this way we should multiply 9 x 3 and 1 x 1, which would give us the following result:
In this way we can verify that the correct answer is 27.

The side length of each cross section that coincides with B is equal to the vertical distance between the two parabolas, . But since -2 ≤ x ≤ 2, this reduces to

a. Square cross sections will contribute a volume of
where ∆x is the thickness of the section. Then the volume would be
where we take advantage of symmetry in the first line.
b. For a semicircle, the side length we found earlier corresponds to diameter. Each semicircular cross section will contribute a volume of
We end up with the same integral as before except for the leading constant:
Using the result of part (a), the volume is
c. An equilateral triangle with side length s has area √3/4 s², hence the volume of a given section is

Answer:
cylinder, has the least surface area
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to choose the shape that has the least surface area for the approximate volume desired. In general, the least area for the volume will be provided by a sphere, a "square" cylinder with height equal to diameter, and a cube, in order of increasing area.

We are asked to find the area and volume of two rectangular prisms, a cylinder, and a square pyramid. Then, we are to identify the shape with the least surface area. Volume and area formulas will be used for the purpose.
<h3>Rectangular Prism</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = LWH
A = 2(LW +H(L +W))
for length L, width W, and height H.
<u>a)</u><u> prism 1</u>
The given dimensions are L = W = 8 in, H = 5 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = (8 in)(8 in)(5 in) = 320 in³
A = 2((8 in)(8 in) +(5 in)(8 in +8 in)) = 2(64 in² +80 in²) = 288 in²
<u>b)</u><u> prism 2</u>
The given dimensions are L = 10 in, W = 8 in, H = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = (10 in)(8 in)(4 in) = 320 in³
A = 2((10 in)(8 in) +(4 in)(10 in +8 in)) = 2(80 in² +72 in²) = 304 in²
__
<h3>Cylinder</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = πr²h
A = 2πr(r +h)
for radius r and height h.
c) The given dimensions are r = 5 in, h = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = π(5 in)²(4 in) = 100π in³ ≈ 314 in³
A = 2π(5 in)(5 in +4 in) = 90π in² ≈ 283 in²
__
<h3>Square Pyramid</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = 1/3s²h
A = s(s +2H)
for base side dimension s, vertical height h, and slant height H.
d) The given dimensions are s = 10 in, h = 10 in, H = 14 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = 1/3(10 in)²(10 in) = 1000/3 in³ ≈ 333 in³
A = (10 in)(10 in + 2×14 in) = 380 in²

<h3>Summary</h3>The proposed figures have volume and area (rounded to the nearest unit) as follows:
The proposed <em>cylinder</em> requires the least amount of sheet metal for its construction. It has the least surface area of all of the shape choices offered.

<em>Additional comment</em>
For a volume of 320 in³, a cube would have a surface area of 280.7 in². A "square" cylinder would have an area of 260.0 in². A sphere would have an area of 226.2 in². The above areas are somewhat larger because the shapes depart from the ideal aspect ratio.
