Mathematics

Answer:

  • total area is the total of the areas of each of the rectangular surfaces
  • 67 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the surface areas of each of the 6 faces.

There are two top/bottom faces with the same area, two left/right faces with the same area, and two front/back faces with the same area. So you only need to figure the areas for 3 faces, then multiply that sum by 2. Of course the area of each rectangle is the product of its length and width. For length, width, and height dimensions L, W, and H, the total area is ...

A = 2(LW +WH +LH)

  = 2(LW +H(L+W)) . . . . . I like this form because there's one less multiplication

  = 2(5·4 + 1.5(5+4)) = 2(20 +13.5)

A = 67 . . . units²

_____

<em>Comment on dimensions</em>

It does not matter which number you use for length, width, or height. The problem is symmetrical that way, so any of the dimensions can be called any of those things. You need to use the same number consistently for height (for example) once you have made the choice of which is which.

Yolanda makes wooden boxes for a crafts fair, She makes 100 boxes like the one shown, and she wants to paint all the outside fac
Gemiola [76]

A box has 4 sides, two short sides which are width by height and two long sides which is length by height.

A) Surface area = 2(LxH) + 2(WxH)

Surface area = 2(10x4) +2(6x4)

Surface area = 2(40) +2(24)

Surface area = 80 + 48

Surface area = 128 square inches for each box.

128 square inches x 100 boxes = 12,800 square inches.

B) 1 can covers 14,000 square inches which is greater then the total of the 100 boxes, so she will need to buy 1 can of paint.

Isaac is 3 years older than Rachael. In 4 years the sum of their ages will be 75. How old is Isaac now?
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

36 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = age of Rachael

2x+3 = current ages combined

[(2x+3)+4]+4 = 75

2x+11 = 75

2x = 75-11

2x = 64

x = 32

Rachel is 32 years old. Isaac is 3 years older, which is 35 years old.

Hope this helped! If you need any help, tell me in the comments.
