Hey!
You have to divide the total amount she has by the surface area.
Surface area = 2(wl+hl+hw)
That gives you:

The surface area is 126 ft. Now divide the total amount she has by the surface area.

<em>That means she can cover 9 boxes</em>

Well if y represents the vertical distance of the ball then you want to solve the equation for when y is 0, since 0 would represent the ball being on the ground. So substitute 0 in for y and solve the equation.
0 = - 0.001x^2 + 0.3x
we have a common factor of x in both terms so we can take that out.
0 = x(-0.001x + 0.3)
Zero product property tells us that we can set both of those products equal to zero and solve
0 = x
0 = -0.001x + 0.3
our first answer is x = 0 is obvious bc thats when the ball starts before you hit it, means it traveled 0.
solving the second equation gives us x = 300
so the ball traveled 300 "yards" I suppose your problem starts, which is impossible, but no matter thats the answer :-)
Make sure you go ahead and plot your point on the graph that you are using dilation means the graph got smaller then the original graph so starting from your original point your going to rotate it on the graph to your new point which is 1/2
2x6=12
3x6=18
12+18=22
2x3=6
2x6=12
6+12=18
