A rectangular box with a square base is open at the top and has a volume of 12 cubic feet. Each side of the base has a length of

x feet. Which of the following expresses the surface area, S, in square feet, of the outside of the box in terms of x?
a) S=5x^{2}
b) S= \frac{12}{ x^{2} }
c) S= x^{2} + \frac{24}{x}
d) S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{x}
e)S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{ x^{2} }

We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.

Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.

The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.

We add 48/x to x^2:

x^2 + 48/x

So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).

Please help!<br><br>In circle Y, what is m?<br><br><br>82°<br><br>100°<br><br>106°<br><br>118°
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is:  82°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given diagram, two chords RT and SU are intersecting.

According to the <u>Angle of intersecting chord theorem</u>, "<em>If two chords intersect inside a circle, then the measure of the angle formed is one half the sum of the measure of the arcs intercepted by the angle and its vertical angle</em>."

That means here......

94\°=\frac{1}{2}(m\widehat{RS}+m\widehat{TU})\\ \\ 94\°=\frac{1}{2}(106\°+m\widehat{TU})\\ \\ 2(94\°)=106\°+m\widehat{TU}\\ \\ 188\°=106\°+m\widehat{TU}\\ \\ m\widehat{TU}=188\°-106\°=82\°

So, the measure of arc TU is 82°

Answer:

  B.  181.5√3 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular hexagon with side length s is given by ...

  A = (3√3/2)s²

For side length s = 11 cm, the area is ...

  A = (3√3/2)(11 cm)² = 363√3/2 cm²

  A = 181.5√3 cm²
