What is the surface area of a box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: 100 x the original surface area of the box.
Discussion: Note that a box implies three dimensions. However, when dealing with surface area, we are dealing only with two dimensions. Therefore, scaling up a box where we have sides a, b, and c, by a factor of 10, we increase each side by a factor of 10. The scaled up box now has each of those dimensions as 10a, 10b, and 10c. Whereas the VOLUME is increased from (a x b x c) to (10a x 10b x 10c), the SURFACE AREA is increased from 2(a x b) + 2(a x c) + 2(b x c) to 2(10a x 10b) + 2(10a x 10c) + 2(10b x 10c). The SURFACE AREA is therefore kept in only square units, while VOLUME is in cubed units.

Answer:

The number of games that need to be sold to the retailer in order for the profit to be about equal is approximately 555 games

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The net profit at which each game is sold to a retailer = $9.90

The net profit at which each game is sold at the factory outlet = $10.99

The number of units sold by the outlet = 500

The amount in profit from selling at the factory outlet = 500 × $10.99 = $5,495.00

The number of games that need to be sold to the retailer in order for the profit to be about equal is given as follows;

Let "x" represent the number of games that need to be sold to the retailer in order for the profit to be about equal

Therefore, we have;

x × $9.90/game = $5,495.00

x = $5,495.00/($9.90/game) = 555. $\overline {05}$ games ≈ 555 games

Therefore, the number of games that need to be sold to the retailer in order for the profit to be about equal = x ≈ 555 games.

How many times bigger is earth than mercury

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Mercury has a diameter of 3,032 miles (4,879 km) making it a little more than one third the size of Earth.

If Earth were the size of a baseball, Mercury would be about the size of a golf ball. The diameter of Mercury is 4,879 km, which is approximately 38% the diameter of Earth. In other words, if you put three Mercury's side by side, they would be a little larger than the Earth from end to end. While this makes Mercury smaller than the largest natural satellites in our system – such as Ganymede and Titan – it is more massive and far more dense than they are.

In fact, Mercury’s mass is approximately 3.3 x 1023 kg (5.5% the mass of Earth) which means that its density – at 5.427 g/cm3 – is the second highest of any planet in the Solar System, only slightly less than Earth’s (5.515 g/cm3). This also means that Mercury’s surface gravity is 3.7 m/s2, which is the equivalent of 38% of Earth’s gravity (0.38 g). This means that if you weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) on Earth, you would weigh 38 kg (84 lbs) on Mercury.
