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

Maru [420]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the followign simple interest formula

FV (aka AV)=PV(1+it)

which means that we have

(800+360)=800(1+3i)

1.45=1+3i

.45=3i

.15=i

Keep in mind that, when the logarithm base is not explicitly written, base 10 is assumed, therefore,

\bf \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules}\\\\&#10;log_a a^x\implies x\qquad \qquad a^{log_ax}=x\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;10^{log(3)}+log(100)\implies 10^{log_{10}(3)}+log_{10}(100)\implies 3+log_{10}(10^2)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;3+2\implies 5

For what values of b the relation R:{(b^2, 5), (5b, 6)} is not a function?
xenn [34]

Answer:

B=5,0.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's not that hard. It's just that it might throw you off a bit with the R and the other things. Functions if you don't remember are where the coordinates don't have the same x and y. So since the y1 and y2 are different then to make it not a function, you have to make x1 and x2. To make it that b would have to be = to 5 and 0.
