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}

Explain why the intercepts, on their own, cannot be used to graph the relation 5x+9y= 0.
goldfiish [28.3K]
5x + 9y = 0

to find the x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
5x + 9(0) = 0
5x = 0
x = 0

to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y
5(0) + 9y = 0
9y = 0
y = 0

the reason u cannot use just the intercepts is because the line goes through the origin (0,0)....The intercepts coincide giving u only 1 point...and that is not enough to graph a line

Airida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The objective of the study is test the claim that the average gain in the green fees , lessons or equipment expenditure for participating golf facilities is less than $2,100 under the claim the null and alternative hypothesis are,

H₀ : μ = $2,100

H₀ : μ < $2,100

B) Suppose you selects α = 0.01

The probability that the null hypothesis is rejected when the average gain is $2,100 is 0.01

C) For α = 0.01

specify the rejection region of a large sample test

At the given level of significance 0.01 and the test is left-tailed then rejection level of a large-sample = < - 1.28

Insert three arithmetic means between 25 and 9​
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

21, 17, 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the mean of the 2 given values

mean = \frac{25+9}{2} = \frac{34}{2} = 17

Noe find the mean of 25 and 17 and 17 and 9

mean = \frac{25+17}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21 and

mean = \frac{17+9}{2} = \frac{26}{2} = 13

Thus the 3 means are 21, 17 and 13, that is

25, 21, 17, 13, 9
