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

Mathematics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
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.

If x+y=8, y+z=7, and x+z=5, what is the value of x? What is the formula or strategy to approach this question?
joja [24]

The strategy is to work from a system with three variables and three equations down to something with two variables and two equations. In a two variable-two equation system, you can use either substitution or elimination.

First, let's organize the equations.

(1) x + y = 8

(2) y + z = 7

(3) x + z = 5

Now, we'll solve one of (1), (2), and (3) for a variable. The choice is yours, but we'll use equation (3) and solve it for x.

x + z = 5

x = 5 - z.

Now we put this into equation (1). Why (1)? It's the only one of (1) and (2) with x.

x + y = 8

5 - z + y = 8

-z + y = 3

y - z - 3 to rearrange it.

Now look at this new equation - call it (4) and the original (2).

(4) y - z = 3

(2) y + z = 7

This is a system of two equations and two variables. Either substitution or elimination works here - let's use elimination because of the -z and +z.

y - z = 3

y + z = 7

We add them together and we have that 2y = 10. Divide on both sides and y = 5. One variable down, two to go.

Now we go back to original equation (2). Substitute y = 5 to find z.

y + z = 7

5 + z = 7

z = 2.

Two down, one to go. Since we know z = 2, let's put it into (3) and find x. (Equation (1) with y = 5 works fine as well.)

x + z = 5

x + 2 = 5

x = 3

Thus x = 3, y = 5 and z = 2.

Penny received an unexpected $5,000.00 gift from a distant relative. She invests it
leva [86]

Answer:

$9,000.00 is her original investment worth in 10 yrs.

5000 x 1.08 ^10 = 10794.6249864

Then subtract -500000 = 5794.62498636

Step-by-step explanation:

Why, because the first year is proved 5000 x 0.08 = 400

= 400 year 1 but cna keep only if stays in investment for 10 years

400 x 10 = 4000 interest on investment

5000+ 4000 = $9,000.00 SI

+ 1,794.62 Interest on interest if applies (this is called CI) and makes $10794.62

Find the angle measure of PQR
sineoko [7]

Answer:

<em>64 degrees</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have the SRQ angle, you can easily solve for PQR. Luckily, we're given that QRP and PRS are 32 and 84, respectively. Adding this together gives you 116. 116*2 = 232 and 360-232 = 128, and 128/2 = 64.
