If the surface area of the box of cereal is 272 inches squared, find the length of the box.

Mathematics

Answer:

x= 8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

you left out the other lengths but since i had this same question once, the other lengths are 12 and 2-

dimensions of the box:

12 in x 2 in x ?

=272 square inches

and we know that there are 6 faces

area=  2 *(12 * 2) + 2 *(2*x) + 2 *(12*x)

area = 272 sq. in.  = 48 + 4x + 24x

272 = 48 + 28x

272 - 48 = 28x

224 = 28x

x = 8 inches

good luck :)

i hope this helps

brainliest would be highly appreciated

have a nice day!

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

so old triangle we have  1/2 x b x h = 48

new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
 so we would get:

1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area

rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area

divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2

so new area = 3/2 x old area

new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches

Only one of the possibilities is success . . . rolling a 3 .

So the probability of success is 1/3 = 33 and 1/3 percent .

Someone please help me on this question
Rudik [331]
100 + 10x=15x. Subtract 10x from both sides. 100=5x. Divide by 5 on both sides. x=20. So you would need to buy 20 movies.
