Answer:

  681 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular prism of dimensions L, W, and H is given by ...

  A = 2(LW +H(L+W))

The surface area of the given box is ...

  A = 2(12·3 +18.25(12 +3)) = 2(36 +273.75) = 619.5 . . . square inches

The amount of wrapping paper required is 10% more than this value, so is ...

  paper required = (1 +.10)(619.5) = 681.45 ≈ 681 . . . square inches

A driving school wants to find out which of its two instructors is more effective at preparing students to pass the state’s driv
jonny [76]

Answer:

Yes, there is evidence to support that claim that instructor 1 is more effective than instructor 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can conduct a hypothesis test for the difference of 2 proportions.  If there is no difference in instructor quality, then the difference in proportions will be zero.  That makes the null hypothesis

H0:  p1 - p2 = 0

The question is asking whether instructor 1 is more effective, so if he is, his proportion will be larger than instructor 2, so the difference would result in a positive number.  This makes the alternate hypothesis

Ha:  p1 - p2 > 0

This is a right tailed test (the > or < sign always point to the critical region like an arrowhead)

We will use a significance level of 95% to conduct our test.  This makes the critical values for our test statistic: z > 1.645.  

If our test statistic falls in this region, we will reject the null hypothesis.

Find the area of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 80 ft and an apothem of 12.07 feet
Finger [1]

Answer:

The area of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 80 ft and an apothem of 12.07 feet is 482.8 ft².

Step-by-step explanation:

An octagon is a polygon with eight sides. An octagon is regular (also called a regular octagon) is a polygon with all eight sides equal.

The apothem of a regular octagon is the shortest distance between the center and any of its sides, in other words, it is the distance that separates the center of the polygon from the central point of each side of the octagon.

The area is calculated using the following formula:

Area=\frac{n*L*Ap}{2}

Where:

  • n is the number of sides.
  • L is the length of one of the sides.
  • Ap is the value of the apothem.

Being n = 8 being an octagon and the perimeter P the sum of the sides of the octagon (P = 8 * L), the area of ​​the regular octagon can be calculated by:

Area=\frac{P*Ap}{2}

In this case:

  • P=80 ft
  • Ap=12.07 ft

Replacing:

Area=\frac{80ft*12.07ft}{2}

Solving:

Area=482.8 ft²

<u><em>The area of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 80 ft and an apothem of 12.07 feet is 482.8 ft².</em></u>
