Answer:

No, she cannot completely cover the footrest.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the total surface area of the prism to be covered using the cotton cloth

the total surface area of the prism is

A = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,

l is the length of the prism = 18 in,

w= width of the prism = 12 in,

h is the height of the prism = 10 in

hence A = 2(12 \times 18 ) + 2(18 \times 10) + 2(10 \times 12)=1032in^{2}

We need to convert the area of the fabric to be in the same unit as that of the prism

Area of cotton fabric = 1 yd^{2}= 1296 in ^{2}

since the surface area of the foot rest is more than the area of fabric she has, she cannot completely cover the footrest

Answer:

The surface area of the footrest is 1032In²

And since she has 1yd²(1296in²) of fabric she cannot cover the footrest completely

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached rough sketch of the rectangular prism for your reference.

This problem bothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a rectangular prism

To solve the problem we need to calculate the total surface area of the prism and compare it with her 1yd fabric

Given data

Length 18 in.

Width 12 in.

Height 10 in

SA=2(wl+hl+hw)

SA= 2(12*18+ 10*18+ 10*12)

SA= 2(216+180+120)

SA= 2(516)

SA= 1032In²

Let us make the comparison

1 yd² is equal to 1296in²

kap26 [50]

Answer:

1. 16 cups

2. 8 pints

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of cups of juice made from a certain gallon and the amount left in pints after some certain amount of the juice was consumed.

To solve this problem, we need to know the amount of cups present in a gallon of juice.

Mathematically, there are 16 cups present in a gallon. Now since she made two gallons, the amount of cups present is thus 16 * 2 = 32 cups of juice

2. 16 cups was consumed by the family. The amount of cups left is thus 32 - 16 = 16 cups of juice

We need our answer in pints however.

Mathematically, 1 pint is composed of 2 cups.

This means 16 cups would be composed of 16/2 pints = 8 pints
