Answer:  The height is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the total of the areas of the 6 faces of the rectangular prism. Given 286 square feet.

The base given is 5ft by 7ft, so that will give the area of 2 faces;

the other pairs of faces have the unknown height as one factor

5ft by h and 7ft by h .  Create an equation with those factors:

2(5×7) + 2(5h)  + 2(7h) = 286  Distribute and compile

2(35) + 10h + 14h = 286    70 + 24h = 286 .  Solve for h

24h = 286 - 70 .    24h = 216 .  216 ÷ 24 = 9

h = 9

  So the height of the rectangular prism is 9 feet

While mining Fred found a large metal bar that contained 24 ounces of nickel. Fred also determined that the bar was 80% nickel.
frutty [35]

Answer:

Not that I'm a chemistry expert but mathematically,The total weight of the bar is directly proportional to the known weight of the bar and the given percentage. I worked it out and found that the the total weight of the bar is 30 ounces. This is how I did it

Step-by-step explanation:

80:24

100:n

80(n)=100×24

A little equation and after it's solve the variable (n) will be equal to 30

The unit is added after calculations so that's how the answer is <em><u>3</u></em><em><u>0</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>oun</u></em><em><u>ces</u></em>
