A box has 4 sides, two short sides which are width by height and two long sides which is length by height.
A) Surface area = 2(LxH) + 2(WxH)
Surface area = 2(10x4) +2(6x4)
Surface area = 2(40) +2(24)
Surface area = 80 + 48
Surface area = 128 square inches for each box.
128 square inches x 100 boxes = 12,800 square inches.
B) 1 can covers 14,000 square inches which is greater then the total of the 100 boxes, so she will need to buy 1 can of paint.
The variable <em>x </em>is equal to 0.5
y = - 
x - 34
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 68, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 34 )
m = 
= 
= -
the y-intercept = (0, - 34 ) ⇒ c = - 34
y= - x - 34
The answer is 71.
You add all of the numbers to get 289. Then you take 360-289 and get 71.
