Answer:

70 cans of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

1 box holds = 14 cans of paint

5 boxes =

Cross Multiplying

5 boxes will hold = 5 × 14

= 70 cans of paint

This question, requires that we use Distributive property

Distributive property states that: when 2 factors or numbers are multiplied together the result will be the same as splitting on of the numbers(factors) into two distinct numbers, multiplying both number by the other factor, and adding together both products.

Applying the definition above to solve the question, we would be splitting the number of boxes which is 5 into 2 distinct number = 2 and 3

As , 2 + 3 = 5

Hence, we have:

14 × 5 = 14( 2 + 3)

70 = 28 + 42

70 cans of paint = 70 cans of paint.

The numbers of cans of paint that are in the art supply closet is 70 cans of paint

7. 3/5 = 4.5/x

3x= 5(4.5)

x = 15/2

8. 6/4 = 9/x

6x= 45

x= 15/2

8. since triangle ABC and ADE are identical,

angle E is also 30 degrees

so angle D = 180-(30+70)=80 degrees

9. 9/3 = x/5

3x = 45

x = 45/3 = 15

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=270\text{ cm}^2    

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that a container is shaped like a triangle prism. Each base of container is an equilateral triangle with each side 6 cm. The height of container is 15 cm.

To find the lateral surface area of our given container we will use lateral surface area formula of triangular prism.

\text{Lateral surface area of triangular prism}=(a+b+c)*h, where, a, b and c represent base sides of prism and h represents height of the prism.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=(\text{6 cm+ 6 cm+6 cm})*\text{15 cm}

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=\text{18 cm}*\text{15 cm}

\text{Lateral surface area of container}=270\text{ cm}^2

Therefore, lateral surface area of our given container is 270 square cm.
