Just start squaring numbers! 10² = 100, so to find perfect squares bigger than that, we can just increase the base. 11² = 121, and 12² = 144, and both of those meet our requirements, so we could choose 121 and 144 as our examples.
Answer:
3,432 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of aluminum in square meters needed to make the mailboxes = 1863(surface area of each mailbox)
Surface area of each mail box = ½(surface area of cylinder) + (Surface area of rectangular prism/box - area of the surface of the box that joins the half-cylinder)
✔️Surface area of ½-cylinder = ½[2πr(h + r)]
r = ½(0.4) = 0.2 m
h = 0.6 m
π = 3.14
Surface area of ½-cylinder = ½[2*3.14*0.2(0.6 + 0.2]
= 0.628(0.8)
Surface area of ½-cylinder = 0.5024 m²
✔️Surface area of the rectangular box/prism = 2(LW + LH + WH)
L = 0.6 m
W = 0.4 m
H = 0.55 m
Surface area = 2(0.6*0.4 + 0.6*0.55 + 0.4*0.55)
Surface area of rectangular box = 1.58 m²
✔️Area of the surface joining the half cylinder and the box = L*W = 0.6*0.4 = 0.24 m²
✅Surface area of 1 mailbox = (0.5024) + (1.58 - 0.24)
= 0.5024 + 1.34
= 1.8424
Amount of aluminum needed to make 1863 mailboxes = 1863 × 1.8424 = 3,432.3912
= 3,432 m²
In order to figure out whether Luis or Isabella skates farther to get to school, we have to create a common denominator between the two fractions that represent the distance that each person walks.
The least common denominator of 3 and 4 is 12. This means that we have to change both fractions into equal fractions with denominators of 12.
To figure this out, we must set up a proportion.
2/3 = x/12
To solve this proportion, we must cross-multiply the fractions. We get:
24 = 3x
If we divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3, to get the variable x alone, we get:
x = 8
Therefore, 2/3 = 8/12, so Luis skates 8/12 mile from his home to school.
If we do the same process for the 2/4 mile to get to school for Isabella, we get 6/12, because both fractions are equal to 1/2.
Therefore, we know that Luis skates 8/12 mile to school and Isabella skates 6/12 mile to get to school. Because they have the same denominator, we can just compare the numerators. We know that 8 is greater than 6, thus Luis skates farther to get to school.
