How do the surface areas of similar prisms compare when dimensions are doubled?

Mathematics

zhuklara [117]2 years ago

Answer:

The surface area of the larger prism is 4 times the surface area of the smaller one.

(which agrees with answer B in your list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the lateral surface area of prisms always consists of parallelograms, whose areas are given by the product base times height. = B x H

Therefore if the dimensions of the prism double, then the base and height of the parallelograms will double as well, making such individual ares of the lateral faces go from:

B x H  to -->  2 B x 2 H = 4 (B x H)

that is 4 times the original lateral face's area.

with the faces for the top and bottom bases of the prism, something similar happens, so we conclude that the surface area of the larger prism is 4 times the surface area of the smaller one.

Use cross products to determine whether the pair of ratios 4/6 and 14/21 form a proportion. Write yes or no. *SHOW WORK*
Dafna1 [17]
4/6 can reduce to 2/3. (divide each by 2)
14/21 can reduce to 2/3 by dividing the nume/denominator by 7.
in this case, they are proportional.

Answer:

First question

a = 1 , h = 0 , k = 6 ⇒ third answer

Second question

y = 2x² + 4 ⇒ second answer

Third question

No of the choices correct ⇒ fourth answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First question

∵ f(x) = x² + 6

- It is a quadratic function with general form ax² + bx + c

- Its vertex is (h , k), where h = -b/2a and k = f(h)

∵ a = 1 , b = 0 , c = 6

∴ h = 0/2(1) = 0

∴ f(0) = 0² + 6 = 6

∴ a = 1 , h = 0 , k = 6 ⇒ third answer

Second question

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up  

 by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down  

 by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k

∵ y = 2x²

∵ y is shifted 4 units up

∴ k = 4

∴ y + 4 = 2x² + 4

∴ y = 2x² + 4 ⇒ second answer

Third question

∵ y = -2x² + 3

- It is a quadratic equation with general form ax² + bx + c

- It represented graphically by parabola

- If a is positive the parabola opens upward

- If a is negative the parabola opens downward

∵ a = -2

∴ The parabola opens downward

∴ No of the choices correct ⇒ fourth answer
