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>

Solve for a and x in ax^2=48<br>​
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

ax^2 = 48\\a = \frac{48}{x^2}

ax^2 = 48\\x^2 = \frac{48}{a} \\x = \frac{\sqrt{48} }{\sqrt{a} } \\x = \frac{4\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{a}}  \\x = \frac{4\sqrt{3a} }{a}

find the difference between the simple interest and compound interest on 2500 for 2 years at 4% per annum , compound interest be
EastWind [94]

Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Principal (P)= $2,500

Interest rate= 4%

Number of periods= 2 years

<u>First, we will determine the interest earned using the simple interest formula:</u>

I= P*r*t

I= 2,500*0.04*2

I=$200

<u>Now, using the compound interest formula:</u>

I= [P*(1 + r)^t] - P

r= 0.04/2= 0.02 (semi annual interest rate)

t=2*2= 4 semesters

I= [2,500*(1.02^4)] - 2,500

I= $206.08

Marcy wants to paint the sides of the wooden storage chest shown below gray except the white lid. What is the surface area?
arlik [135]

Answer:

Surface area = 2,160 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of box = 15 in

Width of box = 30 in

Height of box = 24 in

Find:

Surface area

Computation:

Surface area = 2h[l+b]

Surface area = 2(24)[30 + 15]

Surface area = 48 x 45

Surface area = 2,160 in²
