Answer:

3433 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, we have a rectangular box without cover and half a cylinder on top.

Formula for surface area of rectangular box with top is;

S = 2(lh + wh + lw)

From the image,

l = 0.6 m

w = 0.4 m

h = 0.55 m

Thus;

S = 2((0.6 × 0.55) + (0.4 × 0.55) + (0.6 × 0.4))

S = 1.58 m²

Now, since the top is not included for this figure, then;

Surface area of this rectangular box is;

S1 = 1.58 - (lw) = 1.58 - (0.4 × 0.6) = 1.34 m²

Surface area of a cylinder is;

S = 2πr² + 2πrh

r is radius and in this case = 0.4/2 = 0.2 m

h = 0.6

S = 2π(0.2² + (0.2 × 0.6))

S = 1.005 m²

Since it is half cylinder, then we have;

S2 = 1.005/2

S2 = 0.5025 m²

Total surface area; S_t = S1 + S2

S_t = 1.34 + 0.5025

S_t = 1.8425 m²

This is the surface area of one mail box.

Thus, for 1863 mailboxes, total surface area is;

S = 1863 × 1.8425 = 3432.5775 m²

Approximating to the nearest Sq.m gives;

S = 3433 m²

The height of a distance marker is 8 2/13 feet. 4/5 of the pole is painted white and rest is painted blue. How much of the pole
Mashcka [7]
1) Convert the mixed number 8 and 2/13 into a fraction:

8 and 2/13 = 8 + 2/13 = (8*13 + 2) / 13 = 106 / 13

2) Calculate 4/5 of 106 / 13

(4 / 5) * ( 106 / 13) = (4*106) / (5*13) = 424 / 65

That is (390 + 34) / 65 = 390/65 + 34/65 = 6 + 34/65 is painted white

3) Calculate the rest

 (1/5) * (106 / 13) = 106 / 65 = 1 + 41/65 is painted blue

If n(A)=26, n(B)=41, and n(A ∩ B)=8, find n(A ∪ B).
miskamm [114]

n (AUB) = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) -n(A intersection B)

= 26+ 41- 8

= 59

Joel wants to fence off a triangular portion of his yard for his chickens. The three pieces of fencing he haas to use are 8 feet
Sedaia [141]

No, it will not be able to make a right triangle.

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Joel wants to fence off a triangular portion of his yard for his chickens.

The length of three peices of fencing are 8 feet , 15 feet and 20 feet

For making it a right triangle it must satisfy the "Pythagorus theorem"

Pythagorean theorem, states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the lengths of other two sides of the right-angled triangle.

For a right angled triangle with sides a, b, c

c^2 = a^2+b^2

Given sides are:

a = 8 feet

b = 15 feet

c = 20 feet

Substituting the values in above formula

20^2 = 8 ^2+15^2\\\\400 = 64 + 225\\\\400\neq 289

Since the pythogoras formula is not satisfied, the given sides cannot form a right angled triangle

Thus , No, it will not be able to make a right triangle.

The radius of a cylindrical gift box is (2x+3) in. The height of the gift box is twice the radius. What is the surface area of t
inessss [21]
SA=2pir^2+2hpir=2pir(r+h)
h=2r=2(2x+3)=4x+6

SA=2pi(2x+3)(2x+3+4x+6)
SA=(4x+6)(pi)(6x+9)
SA=24πx²+27πx+54π
