Answer:
gift 1:
424 cm^2
570 cm^3
gift 2:
1420.5 cm^2
3622.5 cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the surface area of these gifts in order to know the amount of wrapping paper.
The formula for the surface area is:
A = 2*ab + 2*ac + 2*bc
Gift 1:
A = 2*6*10 + 2*6*9.5 + 2*10*9.5
A = 424 cm^2
That means that gift 1 needs 424 cm^2 of wrapping paper
Gift 2:
A = 2*14*17.25 + 2*14*15 + 2*17.25*15
A = 1420.5 cm^2
That means that gift 2 needs 1420.5 cm^2 of wrapping paper
Now, to calculate the cubic centimeters of packaging peanuts, we calculate the volume, the volume has as formula:
V = a*b*c
Gift 1:
V = 6*10*9.5
V = 570 cm^3
This means that gift 1 needs 570 cm^3 of packaging peanuts
Gift 2:
V = 14*17.25*15
V = 3622.5 cm^3
That means that gift 2 needs 3622.5 cm^3 of packaging peanuts
Answer: The statue, originally intended to be only 10 feet tall, was on further consideration enlarged so that it finally stood 19 feet tall from head to foot, the scale being such that if Lincoln were standing he would be 28 feet tall.

I am old, so I like to use paper & pencil
Since the ratio is 3:4, and 12/4 is 3 than you do 3x3 and get 9 so the answer is 9:12 or 9 boys and 12 girls. To check your answer, you can do 3/4 (for 3:4) and that is 0.75. If you do that with 9:12 you also get 0.75.
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of years. The suburb population is growing at a rate of 5000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
320000 + 5000x
The city population is declining at a rate of 14000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
624000 - 14000x
The number of years for the city and suburb population to be equal can be gotten from:
320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x
14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000
19000x = 304000
x = 304000 / 19000
x = 16
In 16 years the populations of the suburb and the city be equal
