<span>(a) What is the capacity of the container?
Volume = length * width * height
V = 4ft * 2ft * 3ft
V = 24 ft</span>³
<span>
(b) How much material was used to make the container?
Surface area = sum of 6 faces of the prism
4 ft x 3 ft = 12 ft</span>² → 12 ft² x 2 = 24 ft²
<span>4 ft x 2 ft = 8 ft</span>² → 8 ft² x 2 = 16 ft²
<span>2 ft x 3 ft = 6 ft</span>² → 6 ft² x 2 = 12 ft²
<span>
Surface area = 24 ft</span>² + 16 ft² + 12 ft² = 52 ft²<span>
</span>
The correct answer is Choice A.
This is an example of an exponential equation, so we need the formula

.
The a value is the starting value of 100. The b value must be a decimal lower than 1 because it is decreases.
If you substitute in 8 for x, you will see that the output is about 50 (half of 100).
Answer:
3.75 or 15/4
Step-by-step explanation:
8x+5=35
Subtract 5 from the left side to cancel it out, do the same thing to 35.
8x=30
Divide 8x by 8 to get x alone, do the same thing to 30.
x=3.75, or once you simplify 30/8, you get 15/4.
