The formula s= SA/6 squared gives the length of the side, s, of a cube with a surface area, SA. How much longer is the side of a

cube with a surface area of 1,200 square inches than a cube with the surface area of 768 square inches?

The surface area (SA) of a cube can be written as:

SA = 6s²

From here we can write, the length of the side s as:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{SA}{6} }

For cube with surface area of 1200 square inches, the side length will be:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{1200}{6} }=10 \sqrt{2} inches

For cube with surface area 768 square inches, the side length will be:

s= \sqrt{ \frac{768}{6} }=8 \sqrt{2} inches

The difference in side lengths of two cubes will be:

10 \sqrt{2} -8 \sqrt{2}=2 \sqrt{2}

Rounding to nearest tenth of an integer, the difference between the side lengths of two cubes will be 2.8 inches.

Answer:

The side lenght of the cube with <span> a surface area of 1,200 in² is 1.2 times the side length of a cube with the surface area of 768 in²
</span>

Justification:
<span />

1) Given formula:


 s = √ (SA / 6)

2) s for a cube with SA 1,200 in²

s₁ = √ (1,200 in² / 6) = √(200 in²) = 10 (√2) in


3) s for a cube with SA 768 in²


s₂ = √ (768 in² / 6) = √ (128 in²) = 8 (√2) in

4) ratio


s₁ / s₂ = 10√2 / 8√2 = 10/8 = 5/4 = 1.20

So, the side of the cube with <span> a surface area of 1,200 in² is 1.2 times as long as the side of a cube with the surface area of 768 in²</span>

Mr. Owens' printer can print 55 pages in 30 minutes. How many pages can it print In 1 hour?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

110 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of 55 pg in 30 minutes is given in "minutes".

Thus,

we need to convert 1 hour to minutes.

We know 1 hour = 60 minutes

Note: 30 mins * 2 = 60 minutes

Logically, 30 minutes makes 55 pages, so 60 minutes (30 * 2) will make 55 * 2 = 110 pages

So, in 1 hour, it can print 110 pages (at this rate)

Please help me on this question
Alina [70]

Answer:

DE = 13.4 cm  (to 1 decimal place)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ABCD is a square

BC = AC = 12 cm    (opposite sides of a square are congruent)

E is midpoint of BC   (given)

BE = EC  = 12/2 = 6 cm

CD = AB = 12 cm   (opposite sides of a square are congruent)

angle ECD is a right angle (interior angles of a square are 90 deg.)

Consider right triangle ECD

DE = sqrt(EC^2+CD^2)    ............. pythagorean theorem

= sqrt(6^2+12^2)

= sqrt ( 36+144 )

= sqrt (180)

= 2 sqrt(45)

= 13.416 (to three dec. places)

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert them into improper fractions: 6\frac{1}{3} =\frac{19}{3} and 9\frac{1}{2} =\frac{19}{2}. Now we add: \frac{19}{2}+\frac{19}{3}=\frac{95}{6} or 15\frac{5}{6}.
