Calculate the volume and surface areas of both rectangular prisms for each option.

A:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))
\sf A=236~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(5)(6)(8)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2((5)(6)+(8)(6)+(8)(5))
\sf A=236~ft^2

This is incorrect, they have the same volume of 240 cubic feet and the same surface areas.

B:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(5)(6)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((8)(5)+(6)(5)+(6)(8))
\sf A=236~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(10)(8)(3)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((10)(8)+(3)(8)+(3)(10))
\sf A=268~ft^2

\boxed{\sf Correct~Answer}: Both have the same volume of 240 cubic feet, but different surface areas.

C:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(15)(8)(2)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((15)(8)+(2)(8)+(2)(15))
\sf A=332~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(6)(4)(15)=360~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((6)(4)+(15)(4)+(15)(6))
\sf A=348~ft^2

This is incorrect, they have different surface areas, but only Rectangle #1 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.

D:

Rectangular Prism #1
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(12)(6)(5)=360~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((12)(6)+(5)(6)+(5)(12))
\sf A=324~ft^2

Rectangular Prism #2
\sf V=lwh
\sf V=(8)(10)(3)=240~ft^3

\sf A=2(wl+hl+hw)
\sf A=2((8)(10)+(3)(10)+(3)(8))
\sf A=268~ft^2

This is incorrect, they both have different surface areas but only Rectangle #2 has a volume of 240 cubic feet.

Evaluate and simplify the following complex fraction.:6/7 ÷ 3/11​
inna [77]

Answer:

3  7/50

Step-by-step explanation:

so you need them to become common denominators

a common multiple they both have would be is 77

6/7 becomes 66/77 and 3/11 becomes 21/77

now we divide

keep the 66/77 as is and flip 21/77 (keep, change, flip)

so now our equation looks like this: 66/77 x 77/21

and your answer is 3.14

but as a fraction it is 157/50 and to simplified it would be 3 7/50 (mixed fraction)

Hamburgers cost $3 and hotdogs cost $2. The total cost of buying b hamburgers and d hotdogs can be expressed by C=3b+2d. How can
Temka [501]
C = 3b+2d is the same as 3b+2d = C

Let's isolate d. To do this, we first need to subtract 3b from both sides

3b+2d = C
3b+2d-3b = C-3b
2d = C-3b

Then divide both sides by 2

2d = C-3b
2d/2 = (C-3b)/2
d = (C-3b)/2

Take note of the parenthesis as they are very important. We want to divide ALL of C-3b over 2. We don't want to just divide -3b over 2.

The answer choices you have aren't 100% clear but I have a feeling your teacher meant to say d = (C-3b)/2 instead of d = C-3b/2 for choice A

If that assumption is correct, then the answer is choice A.

Use the Pythagorean theorem and the following diagram to help you find the area and perimeter of the following triangle. Please
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Perimeter = 30

Area = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+8)^2 -x^2 = 12^2

x^2 +16x +64 - x^2 = 144

16x+64=144

16x = 80

x = 5

Double check:

\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = (5+8)\\\sqrt{12^2 + 5^2} = 13\\13 = 13

Perimeter:

12+5+13=30

Area(\frac{1}{2}bh):

\frac{1}{2} × 12 × 5 = 30
