Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the sum of the areas of the faces.

There are 4 faces that are 5 cm wide. Their respective heights (from front, over the top) are ...

1 cm, 2.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.3 cm

for a total height of 7.8 cm. Thus, those 4 faces have a total area of ...

(5 cm)(7.8 cm) = 39.0 cm^2

The two trapezoidal faces each have bases of length 1 and 2 cm, and a "height" of 2.3 cm. Together, their areas are ...

A = 2×(1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (b1 +b2)h

A = (1 cm +2 cm)(2.3 cm) = 6.9 cm^2

The surface area of the entire trapezoidal prism is then ...

total area = base area + lateral area = 6.9 cm^2 +39 cm^2

total area = 45.9 cm^2

The student's answer of 57.4 cm^2 is not correct. (We don't know where that calculation came from.)

Hey there! The answer is 1 1/8 mile.

To find the amount of miles Sarah ran, we need to multipy the length of the track by the times she run that distance.
$1 \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{8}$

Rembember: multiplying a fraction means you have to multiply the <span>numerator by the numerator (of the other fraction) and the denominator by the denominator (of the other fraction)

</span>The answer is 1 1/8 mile.
~ Hope this helps you!

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Discussion:

I stared at the numbers 19, 29, 39, 49, 59, 69,... for a second and noticed that adding 10 to any number gives the next number to the right. For example,

19 + 10 = 29

29 + 10 = 39

39 + 10 = 49

etc.....

A recursive formula would be:

a(0) = 19

a(n+1) = a(n) + 10 if n >= 0
