Answer: Choice C) 124 square cm

------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

Let's calculate the area of the trapezoid shown
b1 and b2 are the parallel bases; h is the height of the 2D trapezoid
b1 = 2
b2 = 5
h = 1.5

A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 1.5*(2+5)/2
A = 1.5*7/2
A = 10.5/2
A = 5.25
The area of one 2D trapezoid is 5.25 sq cm
There are two of these trapezoids that form the base faces of the trapezoidal prism. So the total base area is 2*5.25 = 10.5 sq cm
Keep this value (10.5) in mind. We'll use it later.

------------

Now onto the lateral surface area (LSA)
It turns out that the formula for the LSA is
LSA = p*d
where 
p = perimeter of the trapezoid shown
d = depth or height of the 3D trapezoid (I'm not using h as it was used earlier)
This formula works for any polygonal base. It doesn't have to be a trapezoid.

In this case the perimeter is,
p = 1.7+2+2.65+5
p = 11.35

So
LSA = p*d
LSA = 11.35*10
LSA = 113.5

Add this LSA to the base area found earlier
10.5+113.5 = 124

The total surface area is 124 square cm

On Saturday, 150 people at a movie theater purchased popcorn, and 350 people did not purchase popcorn. What percentage of people
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

<u>70%</u> of people did not order popcorn at the movie theater on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, add to get the total amount of people

150 + 350 = 500

now that we have the total, divide the people that did not buy popcorn by the total amount of people

350/500 = 0.7

then, multiply that by 100

0.7 x 100 = 70

your final answer would be 70%
