Answer:

The total surface area of a box is 450\frac{1}{2} \:in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, the surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object.

A box is most often characterized by its height h, and its width, W, and its length L.

The total surface area of a box is made up of three pairs of sides for a total of six sides and its given by

                                     A = 2(h \cdot W) + 2(h  \cdot L) + 2(W  \cdot L)

We know that the width of a box is 8 1/2 inches, the height of a box is 5 1/2 inches, and the length of a box is 12 3/4 inches.

The total surface area of a box is

A= 2\left(5\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:8\frac{1}{2}\right)+2\left(5\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:12\frac{3}{4}\right)+2\left(8\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:12\frac{3}{4}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Convert\:mixed\:numbers\:to\:improper\:fractions} \\\\A=2\left(\frac{11}{2}\cdot \frac{17}{2}\right)+2\left(\frac{11}{2}\cdot \frac{51}{4}\right)+2\left(\frac{17}{2}\cdot \frac{51}{4}\right)\\\\A=\frac{187}{2}+\frac{561}{4}+\frac{867}{4}\\\\A=\frac{901}{2}=450\frac{1}{2}

Help solve 4 and 5 please
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). a). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then it must be a RECTANGLE.

b). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then it must be a SQUARE.

c). If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles of the parallelogram, then it must be a RHOMBUS.

d). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular and congruent, then it must be a SQUARE.

e). If a parallelogram has four congruent sides, then it must be a SQUARE.

5). Given quadrilateral SELF is a rhombus.

a). All sides of a rhombus are equal,

   Therefore, ES = EL = 25

b). Diagonals of a rhombus bisects the opposite angles,

   Therefore, m∠ELS = m∠FLS

    3x - 2 = 2x + 7

    3x - 2x = 7 + 2

    x = 9

c). Diagonals of the rhombus bisect the opposite angles, and adjacent angles are supplementary.

m∠ELF = 2(m∠ELS) = 2(2y - 9)

m∠LES = 2(m∠LEF) = 2(3y + 9)

And 2(2y - 9) + 2(3y + 9) = 180

(2y - 9) + (3y + 9) = 90

5y = 90

y = 18
