How do you find the surface area for this shape?

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.

The graph shows the function f(x) = 2*<br> What is the value of xwhen f(x) = 8?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2^x

Let f(x) =8

8 = 2^x

Rewriting 8 as 2^3

2^3 = 2^x

The bases are the same so the exponents are the same

Problema Solution

You have 800 feet of fencing and you want to make two fenced in enclosures by splitting one enclosure in half. What are the largest dimensions of this enclosure that you could build?

Answer provided by our tutors

Make a drawing and denote:


x = half of the length of the enclosure


2x = the length of the enclosure


y = the width of the enclosure


P = 800 ft the perimeter


The perimeter of the two enclosures can be expressed P = 4x + 2y thus


4x + 3y = 800


Solving for y:

........

........

y = 800/3 - 4x/3


The area of the two enclosure is A = 2xy.


Substituting y = 800/3 - 4x/3 in A = 2xy we get


A = 2x(800/3 - 4x/3)


A =1600x/3 - 8x^2/3


We need to find the x for which the parabolic function A = (- 8/3)x^2 + (1600/3)x has maximum: 


x max = -b/2a, a = (-8/3), b = 1600/3


x max = (-1600/3)/(2*(-8/3))


x max = 100 ft


y = 800/3 - 4*100/3


y = 133.33 ft


2x = 2*100


2x = 200 ft

Gemiola [76]
Largeur = x
longueur = 4 x 

2 ( x + 4 x) = 20
2 x + 8 x = 20 
10 x =20
x = 2

largeur  = 2 et longueur = 8
