Answer:

a. 84 cm² b. The area of the polyhedron is found by finding the sum of the areas of each individual shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The area of the polyhedron is gotten by finding the area of each individual shape.

The area of the left rectangle with sides 6 by 4 is 6 cm × 4 cm = 24 cm²

The area of the middle rectangle with sides 6 by 5 is 6 cm × 5 cm = 30 cm²

The area of the right rectangle with sides 6 by 3 is 6 cm × 3 cm = 18 cm²

The area of the triangle on the left rectangle is found using heron's formula where area A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c) where s = (a + b + c)/2 and a, b and c are the sides of the rectangle.

Since the rectangle has sides 4, 3 and 5, a = 4, b = 3 and c = 5

So, s = (a + b + c)/2 = s = (4 + 3 + 5)/2 = 12/2 = 6

A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c)

= √[6(6 - 4)(6 - 3)(6 - 5)

= √[6(2)(3)(1)

= √36

= 6 cm²

The area of the triangle on the right rectangle is found using heron's formula where area A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c) where s = (a + b + c)/2 and a, b and c are the sides of the rectangle.

Since the rectangle has sides 3, 4 and 5, a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5

So, s = (a + b + c)/2 = s = (3 + 4 + 5)/2 = 12/2 = 6

A = √[s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c)]

= √[6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)]

= √[6(3)(2)(1)

= √36

= 6 cm²

The surface area of the polyhedron is the sum of all the areas. So, A = 24 cm² + 30 cm² + 18 cm² + 6 cm² + 6 cm² = 84 cm²

b. Explain your reasoning

The area of the polyhedron is found by finding the sum of the areas of each individual shape.

prohojiy [21]

The entire trip will take 6 days.

(Encircle this answer, as said on the directions)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first three days of the trip, we traveled 1380 miles.

Find the UNIT RATE of MILES PER day:

1380/3 = 460

Unit rate = 460 miles per day

If we were to drive at this (460 mi per day) rate EACH day and the whole journey takes 2760 miles across the country.

FInd the NUMBER of DAYS of the ENTIRE TRIP:

2760/460 = 6

It will take us 6 days to drive to the destination.

MrRa [10]
A carpenter's square is a ruler which looks like a right triangle. Being such, it has a long side and a short side. Assuming that the radius of each wheel is the size of the short side, we can use this to measure the mid point of the wheel. The mid point of the wheel is the optimal point where you can bore a hole.
