Part A. Your model is as good as any. It is hard to tell if the label needs to include the descriptor (length = 12 ft, for example). Certainly your model is sufficient for Part B.

Part B. The total area is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 faces of the box. Opposite faces are the same area, so you have
  A = 2(LW +WD +LD) = 2(LW +D(L +W))
Subsituting the given dimensions, you get
  A = 2((12 ft)(6 ft) +(3 ft)(12 ft +6 ft))
  A = 2(72 ft² +(3 ft)(18 ft))
  A = 2(72 ft² +54 ft²) = 252 ft²

The least amount of paper required to cover the box is 252 ft².

What is the equation of the line?
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

y=1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(0,2) and (-4,0).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m= 0 - 2-4 - 0 or... m= -2-4 or... m=1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(-4,0). When x of the line is -4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=1/2x+b. b is what we want, the 1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (-4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(1/2)(0). b=2.

(-4,0). y=mx+b or 0=1/2 × -4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(1/2)(-4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (-4,0)

is

y=1/2x+2

Stacey went to six different auto repair shops to get the following estimates to repair her car.
topjm [15]

Answer:

534 is the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the mean you add all the numbers together (for example this set of numbers):

785, 585, 465, 409, 495, 465

=3204

then divide the number of numbers that you added together , (in this case 6)

3204/6

=
