<h3>3 Answers: B, C, F</h3>

Each of these are closed figures formed by straight line segments. Think of fencing in an area (not necessarily a rectangle) using various straight fence sections. The length of each section does not have to be the same.

Side notes:

Choice A is not a polygon because the figure is not closed.
Choice D is not a polygon because it is not composed of line segments only. Choice D is an ellipse instead.
Choice E is not a polygon due to the curved portion.

Answer:

cylinder, has the least surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to choose the shape that has the least surface area for the approximate volume desired. In general, the least area for the volume will be provided by a sphere, a "square" cylinder with height equal to diameter, and a cube, in order of increasing area.

We are asked to find the area and volume of two rectangular prisms, a cylinder, and a square pyramid. Then, we are to identify the shape with the least surface area. Volume and area formulas will be used for the purpose.

<h3>Rectangular Prism</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = LWH

A = 2(LW +H(L +W))

for length L, width W, and height H.

<u>a)</u><u> prism 1</u>

The given dimensions are L = W = 8 in, H = 5 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = (8 in)(8 in)(5 in) = 320 in³

A = 2((8 in)(8 in) +(5 in)(8 in +8 in)) = 2(64 in² +80 in²) = 288 in²

<u>b)</u><u> prism 2</u>

The given dimensions are L = 10 in, W = 8 in, H = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = (10 in)(8 in)(4 in) = 320 in³

A = 2((10 in)(8 in) +(4 in)(10 in +8 in)) = 2(80 in² +72 in²) = 304 in²

<h3>Cylinder</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = πr²h

A = 2πr(r +h)

for radius r and height h.

c) The given dimensions are r = 5 in, h = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = π(5 in)²(4 in) = 100π in³ ≈ 314 in³

A = 2π(5 in)(5 in +4 in) = 90π in² ≈ 283 in²

<h3>Square Pyramid</h3>

The relevant formulas are ...

V = 1/3s²h

A = s(s +2H)

for base side dimension s, vertical height h, and slant height H.

d) The given dimensions are s = 10 in, h = 10 in, H = 14 in. Then the volume and area are ...

V = 1/3(10 in)²(10 in) = 1000/3 in³ ≈ 333 in³

A = (10 in)(10 in + 2×14 in) = 380 in²

<h3>Summary</h3>

The proposed figures have volume and area (rounded to the nearest unit) as follows:

$\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-4}&shape&V (in^3)&A (in^2)\\\cline{1-4}a&rect prism&320&288\\b&rect prism&320&304\\c&cylinder&314&\bf283\\d&pyramid&333&380\\\cline{1-4}\end{tabular}$

The proposed <em>cylinder</em> requires the least amount of sheet metal for its construction. It has the least surface area of all of the shape choices offered.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

For a volume of 320 in³, a cube would have a surface area of 280.7 in². A "square" cylinder would have an area of 260.0 in². A sphere would have an area of 226.2 in². The above areas are somewhat larger because the shapes depart from the ideal aspect ratio.

The Fall Festival charges $0.75 per ticket for the rides. Kendall bought 18 tickets for rides and spent a total of $33.50 at the

PIT_PIT [208]

The variable y is the dependent variable and the variable x is the independent variable.

The cost of one ticket is $0.75. Therefore, the cost of 18 tickets will be:

$0.75\times 18=13.5$ dollars

Now, we know that Kendall spent her money only on ride tickets and fair admission and that she spent a total of $33.50.

Therefore, the price of the fair admission is: $33.50-$13.50=$20

If we use y to represent the total cost and x to represent the number of ride tickets, the linear equation that can be used to determine the cost for anyone who only pays for ride tickets and fair admission can be written as:

$y=0.75x+20$ ......Equation 1

<u>Part (c)</u>

The above equation is logical because, in general, the total cost of the rides will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought and that will be 0.75x. Now, even if one does not take any rides, that is when x=0, they still will have to pay for the fair admission, and thus their total cost, y=$20.

Likewise, any "additional" cost will depend upon the number of ride tickets bought as already suggested. Thus, the total cost will be the sum of the total ride ticket cost and the fixed fair admission cost. Thus, the above Equation 1 is the correct representative linear equation of the question given.

1. The x-intercepts are x = 0 and x = 6. You can find these by looking for where the line crosses the x-axis. You can see here that it does so at 0 and 6.

2. The maximum value for this function is looking for the f(x) value at the highest point. In this case, you will see that f(x) at the highest point is 120. This happens at x = 3. Once again, this can be found just by looking for the highest point on the graph.

3. Since that is the absolute highest point, it is also the point where is goes from increasing to decreasing. As a result, we know the increasing interval is x<120 and the decreasing interval is x > 120.

4. Finally, the average rate of change between 3 and 5 is -30. You can find this by determining the amount of change in f(x) and dividing it by the amount of change in x. The basic formula is below.

$\frac{new f(x) - old f(x)}{new x - old x}$
