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}

If r = 3.2, what is the area of the shaded region? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use your calculator's value of π.
Lunna [17]

Answer:

99.38

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of all the circles by using the formula A=ℼr2 then filling in r with 3.2 A=ℼ3.22=32.2

Knowing that one circle is 32.2 4 circles would have an area of 128.8

Two circles have a combined length and height of 12.8 because the circumference of one circle is 6.4 so two circles reach the sides of the square. So all the sides of the square are 12.8. So finding the area of the square knowing what the sides are, so the area is a=163.84. To find the shaded area you subtract the volume of the square to volume of all 4 circles which is 163.84-128.8 which equals 35.04. Then you find the volume of the semi circle which is 64.34. Then the combination of both shaded regions is 99.38

The combined land area of the countries A and B is 178,973 square kilometers. Country A is larger by 373 square kilometers. Dete
ruslelena [56]
X=area of the country A
y=area of the country B
we saggest this system of equations:
x+y=178,973
x=y+373
we solve this system of equations by substitution method.
(y+373)+y=178,973
2y=178,973-373
2y=178600
y=178,600/2=89,300

x=y+373
x=89300+373=89,673

answer:
area of the country A=89,673 Km²
area of the country B=89,300 Km²

To check
The combined land area of the countries A and B is =89,673 Km²+89,300 Km²=178,973 Km²
Country A (89,673 Km²) is 373 Km² more larger than country B (89,300 Km²).
89,673 Km²=89,300 Km²+373 Km²

If Oliver actually worked a total of fourteen hours doing his 14 shifts at Slow Food to Go, how many hours was he scheduled to w
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

His shifts were 1 hour each

Step-by-step explanation:

If Oliver worked a total of 14 hours in a span of 14 shifts, that would mean he worked 1 hour per shift because 1(14) = 14.

14/14 = 1 hour

PLEASE HELP! due tmr! <br><br> 24<br> 26<br> 55<br> 99
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

99°

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal Angles of triangles ALWAYS add up to 180°

So, 180° is our total.

We can form an equation. <em>x° + 55° + (4x - 5)° = 180</em>°

We can remove the brackets to form; <em>x° + 55° + 4x° - 5° = 180°</em>

We can get rid of the like terms by either <em>adding </em>or <em>subtracting </em>them.

<em>x° + 4x° + 55° - 5° = 180°</em>

<em>5x° + 50° = 180°</em>

We can then subtract 50° from both sides.

<em>5x° = 180° - 50°</em>

<em>5x° = 130°</em>

We then make x the subject and divide both sides by 5°

x = 26

x was our unknown so where there is x we put 26

The angle on the far left is simply 26°

The other angle, (4x-5)° becomes (4(26) - 5)°

If you simplify that, you get (104-5)°

Hence the last angle was 99°

If you want to ensure that your answer is correct, simply add the angles. They <u><em>should always</em></u> add up to 180° if you're working with a triangle

55° + 26° + 99° = 180°
