Answer:

The surface area applies to how much space a SOLID objects occupies while volume is the space that a substance (solid, liquid, gas, or plasma) or shape occupies or contains, so volume can be anything.

Finding the volume of a figure means finding how much of a unit can fit within that figure. You can find the volume of a figure by multiplying L x W x H. Finding the surface area of a figure means how much area there is on a figure. You can do this by finding each side's area, then add the side's areas together. (If you are finding surface area of a cube, it is 6(L x W). For a rectangular prism, it is a(L x W) + b(L x W).) Basically, the math behind the answer is what makes these two things different.

Answer:

t=+4.06

Step-by-step explanation:

when the baseball hits the ground, the height will be 0.

h=0we are given that h=−16t2+64t+4.

this means that the height is 0 when −16t2+64t+4=0.−16t2+64t+4=0divide both sides by 4:−4t2+16t+1=04=0−4t2+16t+1=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula:t=−b±√b2−4ac2a, where at2+bt+c=0.at2+bt+c=−4t2+16t+1a=−4,b=16,c=1t=−b+√b2−4ac2aor−b−√b2−4ac2a−b+√b2−4ac2a=−16+√272−8=−0.06..−b−√b2−4ac2a=−16−√272−8=4.06 (3s.f.)we have 2 values for t:−0.06 and 4.06.

since time cannot be negative, only the positive value can be taken.

this is 4.06, to 3 significant figures.the time taken is 4.06 seconds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6^2+4^2=52

7^2=49

49 is not equal to 52, so no it is not a right triangle

A cookie company packages its cookies in rectangular prism boxes designed with square bases that have both a length and width of

Verdich [7]

Answer:

length and width=4

height=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello to solve this problem we must propose a system of equations of 3x3, that is to say 3 variables and 3 equations.

Ecuation 1

Leght=Width

.L=W

Ecuation 2

To raise the second equation we consider that the length and width of 4 inches less than the height of the box

H-4=W

Ecuation 3

To establish equation number 3, we find the volume of a prism that is the result of multiplying length, width, and height

LxWxH=128

From ecuation 1(w=h)

$HW^2=128$

solving for H

$H=\frac{128}{W^2}$

Using ecuation 2

H-4=W

$\frac{128}{W^2}-4=W\\W^3+4W^2-128=0$

Now we find the roots of the equation, 2 of them are imaginary, and only one results in 4

W=4in

L=4in

to find the height we use the ecuation 2

H-4=W

H=4+W

H=4+4=8

H=8IN
