For your birthday you go to the movies with three friends. You buy 4 boxes of popcorn, one for you and one for each of your frie

nds. The tickets cost $5.75 each and the popcorn costs $4.25 per box. The total cost can be expressed by (4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25). Rewrite this expression using the distributive property and then solve. Explain why using the distributive property makes finding the total easier. Show your work.

(4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25) = 4(5.75 + 4.25)

4(5.75 + 4.25) = (4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25) = 23 + 17 = 40

Why using the distributive property makes finding the total easier?

Using the distributive property allows us to solve two simpler multiplication problems.

Explain how Cavalieri’s principle can be used to find the volume of any solid.
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Cavalier's principle can be used to find the volume of any solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cavalier's Principle:

  • Cavalier introduced parallel planes and area to describe the relationship between solids.
  • Cavalier stated if two solids have the same height and equal areas of the base everywhere along the height then the solids have the same volume.
  • Suppose two regions are included between two parallel planes.
  • If every plane parallel to these two planes intersects both regions in cross-sections of equal area, then the two regions have equal volumes.
  • The formula for the volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height.
