Answer:

18600 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of square inches of cardboard will the factory need to build 50 boxes, we find the total surface area of the cereal box which is A = 2(lw + lh + hw) where l = length of box = 10 inches, w = width of box = 3 inches and h = height of box = 12 inches.

Substituting the values of the dimensions into A, we have

A = 2(lw + lh + hw)

= 2(10 × 3 + 10 × 12 + 12 × 3) in²

= 2(30 + 120 + 36) in²

= 2(186) in²

= 372 in²

So, the area of one box is 372 in². The area of 50 boxes is thus, area of one box × 50 = 372 in² × 50 = 18600 in²

So we require 18600 square inches of cardboard to build 50 boxes.

Graph the equation<br> y=-2x+1
Fofino [41]

Start by plotting the y-intercept at (0,1).

From that point, count "up 2, right 1" to get a second point on your graph.  

If needed repeat that "up 2, right 1" from that second point to get a third point.

Draw the line that connects these 2 or 3 points.

A dog pen in the shape of a rectangle is to be built using one wall of a house as a side. If 132 feet
diamong [38]
This is a very poorly written question. im assuming the house wall is at least 130 ft since there is no information given about it.

each set of side lengths has three elements, the long side and the two short sides. we're asked to list all whole number possibilities so start anywhere, the two short sides being 1ft
(1 1 130). the long side has to be the difference of 132 and the length of both short sides.

the area is one of the short sides times the ling side, in the first case 1*130=130 sqft

continuing the list

(2 2 128) area=256
(3 3 126) area=378
(4 4 124) area=496
(5 5 122) area=610

the short sides increase by 1, the long side decreases by 2, the area gets bigger, but the difference between the areas are 4 less each time. dividing the first difference, 122, by 4 will give us a number to make a better guess from.

122÷4=30.5

so lets try

(30 30 72) area=2160

lets try 31 and see if that gives a smaller area

(31 31 70) area = 2170

(32 32 68) area =2176

(33 33 66) area = 2178

(34 34 64) area = 2176

so the area is decreasing now which means the maximum area is found when thw long side is 66 feet and the short sides are 33 feet.

as far as listing all possibilities, you see the pattern i started, i leave the rest to you

Which two points on the number line represent numbers that can be combined to make zero? A B C D -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1
maria [59]

Answer:  B and D

Step-by-step explanation:

B=-2

D=2

The negative and positive signs cancel out, leaving you with zero.

Ex: you take two steps back, but then you take two steps forward so you're back where you started (0).
