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}

The question is the photo
Readme [11.4K]
For this question you can say:
5/9( °F - 32) = -10 °C
so now you should solve the equation:
5F/9 - 160/9 = -10 
⇒ 5F/9 = -10 + 160/9 ⇒ 5F/9 = -90/9 + 160/9 ⇒ 5F/9 = 70/9 ⇒ now you can multiply both sides of the equation by 9 so you will have:
5F = 70 ⇒ F = 14 ° F :)))
i hope this is helpful

How do I write this in slope intercept form: (-3,-4) and (4,-3)
DENIUS [597]
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Pick one of the coordinates, I’ll use (-3,-4) as the example.

Coordinates are just numbers plugged in for (x,y).

This means -3 would be your x and -4 would be your y.

So plug these numbers into the equation and you get -4 = m(-3) + b.

M is slope and to find slope, you need to do (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

In other words, it would be (-3 - -4) / (4 - -3) = 1/7 which is your slope (m).

Now plug that in for m to get the b variable.

-4 = 1/7(-3) + b.

B = -3.57

Your answer is y = 1/7x -3.57
