Answer:

36 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the perimeter of an object is adding all of the sides together. If the width of the rug is 6 feet then we know that there are two sides that length. Add those together.

6 feet + 6 feet = 12 feet

You would subtract the number you get from the perimeter.

24 feet - 12 feet = 12 feet

And then divide the number by the number of sides left, 2, to get each of their lengths.

12 feet / 2 feet = 6 feet

To find the area of a rectangle you multiply length times width, which in this case both are 6 feets.

6 feet x 6 feet = 36 feet squared

A cylinder has diameter of 4ft and a height of 9ft. Explain whether halving the diameter has the same effect on the surface area

elena55 [62]

Answer:

See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of cylinder is given by the formula:

$SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h$

Where

r is radius ( diameter is 4, so radius is 4/2 = 2)

h is height ( h = 9)

Lets find original surface are:

$SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (2)^2 + 2\pi (2) (9)\\SA=8\pi +36\pi\\SA=44\pi$

<u>Halving diameter:</u>

diameter would be 4/2 = 2, so radius would be 2/2 = 1

So, SA would be:

$SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (1)^2 + 2\pi (1) (9)\\SA=2\pi +18\pi\\SA=20\pi$

<u>Halving height:</u>

Height is 9, halving would make it 9/2 = 4.5

Now, calculating new SA:

$SA=2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\\SA=2\pi (2)^2 + 2\pi (2) (4.5)\\SA=8\pi + 18\pi\\SA= 26\pi$

Original SA is $44\pi$ ,

Halving diameter makes it $20\pi$

Halving height makes it $26\pi$

So, halving diameter does not have same effect as halving height.
