Answer:

A.  <u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Speed of lightning = 186,000 miles per second

Speed of sound = 750 miles per hour

2. A.  If you see a flash of lightning, then hear the thunder 4 seconds later, how far away is the lightning?

Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 186,000 * 4

<u>Distance of the lightning after 4 seconds = 744,000 miles</u>

<u>B. Now let’s generalize that result. Suppose it takes n seconds to hear the thunder after a flash of lightning. How far away is the lightning, in terms of n?</u>

<u>Distance of the lightning after n seconds = 186,000 * n</u>

What is the surface area of the cube, in square inches?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is made a lot easier by the fact that it's a cube.

So we first calculate the area of one of the faces. The length of the side of the side is 10.4 inches, and <em>10.4 * 10.4 = 100.16.</em>

There are six faces, so we multiply the area of 1 face by 6. <em>100.16 * 6 = 648.96. </em>

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq inches.

<em>Hope This Helps!</em>
