a cardboard box holds 31.25 cubic inches of creamy butter. The butter is molded into a square prism that is 5 inches long. How m

lesya [120]

Answer:

$62.5 \:in^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the butter in the cardboard = 31.25 cubic inches

Length of the Molded Square Prism =5 Inches

Let the length of the square cross sectional area = x

Volume of the Prism $=x^2l$

Since l=5 Inches

$5x^2=31.25\\x^2=6.25\\x=2.5\: Inches$

Next, we determine the surface area of the New Cardboard box to be made.

Length of the Cardboard Box=5 Inches

Length of the square cross sectional area = 2.5 Inches

Total Surface Area $=2(x^2+xl+xl)=2(x^2+2xl)$

$=2(2.5^2+2(2.5)(5))\\=2(6.25+25)\\=2*31.25\\=62.5 \:in^2$

Therefore, $62.5 \:in^2$ of cardboard is needed,

Rainbow [258]

The exhibition of 7 birds will cost $2,450

<h3>How to calculate the total cost ?</h3>

The wildlife center charges a basic fee of $325 for a bird exhibition

When 5 birds were exhibited, $125 additional fee was charged

The additional fee for a bird is

= 125/5

= 25

Therefore the total cost of exhibiting 7 birds can be calculated as follows

= 325 + 25

= 350

350 × 7

= 2,450

Hence the total cost for the exhibition of 7 birds is $2,450
