Answer: The carpenter will need 84 square inches of wood.

In this problem we are looking for the surface area of the jewelry box. This box has 5 faces. The two triangles at each end and the 3 rectangle pieces between them.

The sides of the triangles are 3, 4, 5 which always forms a right triangle with legs of 3 and 4. Use the formula for the area of a triangle, we have 3 x 4 / 2 = 6. The area of each triangle is 6 square inches.

Now, the three sides, each one has a height of 6.
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30

If we add all the sides together, we get an area of 84 square inches.
6 + 6 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 84

Can u help me with this problem 1/2+-2/5t-1=1/5t+t
Temka [501]
1/2+-2/5t(+2/5)=1/5t+t(+2/5)
simplify
1/2=2 and 3/5t
change to a decimal
.5 = 2.6t
divide both sides by 2.6
.5/2.6 2.6t/2.6
you get T= .3125

I have 2 questions. 1. Find the mode and the median for this data set. 5,7,5,8,9,5,8. 2. Write 543.24 in expanded form.
katen-ka-za [31]
To find the median, put the numbers in order to least to greatest, which would be 5, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9. the median is the number in the middle, which is seven. the mode is the number that occurs most often in the set, which is 5 in this case (appears three times). 2. 543.24 in expanded form is essentially pulling the number apart into its different values places. in this case, it would be five hundred plus forty plus three plus two tenths plus four hundredths, which is 500 + 40 + 3 + .2 + .4. hope this helps!
