What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by the factor of 10 and the surface area is 16in

If each linear dimension is scaled by a factor of 10, then the area is scaled by a factor of 100. This is because 10^2 = 10*10 = 100. Consider a 3x3 square with area of 9. If we scaled the square by a linear factor of 10 then it's now a 30x30 square with area 900. The ratio of those two areas is 900/9 = 100. This example shows how the area is 100 times larger.

Going back to the problem at hand, we have the initial surface area of 16 square inches. The box is scaled up so that each dimension is 10 times larger, so the new surface area is 100 times what it used to be

New surface area = 100*(old surface area)
new surface area = 100*16
new surface area = 1600

Final Answer: 1600 square inches

Find the value of the variable.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x = 8, y = 8\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

8^2+8^2=c^2      Both 8 and x sides are congruent so they're equal.

64+64=c^2      Add 64 + 64.

c^2=128           Square root 128

c^2=8\sqrt{2}

Final answers: x = 8, y = 8\sqrt{2}

Solve each inequality.<br> X+5 &lt; 6 <br> Pls help
agasfer [191]

Answer:

x<1

Step-by-step explanation:

You would just subtract 5 from both sides of the equation. The sign does not flip because you are not multiplying or dividing any negative number across the sign.  So simply x+5 (-5) < 6 (-5). On the left side the 5 would cancel out.  on the other side 6-5 is equal to 1.

Answer:  x<1
