Eli made a wooden box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The box has a length of 5 inches, a width of 3 1/2 inches, and a heig

ht of 7 inches.
Part A. Eli wants to paint the entire box green and give the box to his dad as a gift. What is the total area that he will paint? Explain how you found your answer.
Part B. Can the box hold 22 cubic inches of packing peanuts? Explain how you know.

Answer:

Total surface area = 154 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism has a total of 6 surfaces: top and bottom, 2 sides, and 2 ends.

We have to find the area of each top, side, end, and then add these together, and then multiply the result by 2 to finish the job.

Area of top: (5 in)(3.5 in) = 17.5 in²

Area of side: (5 in)(7 in) = 35 in²

Area of end: (3.5 in)(7 in) = 24.5 in²

Now add these three results together and multiply the sum by 2:

2( 17.5 in² + 35 in² + 24.5 in²) = total surface area = 154 in²

To answer the other part of this question: find the volume of this prism:

V = length · width · ht = (5 in)(3.5 in)(7 in) = 122 in³.

Yes, this box can definitely hold 22 in³ of packing peanuts.

Find the greatest common factor of 36 and 54

8090 [49]

Hey there!

To find the greatest common factor you will need to find all the factors of 36 and 54. (A factor is a number that can be divided into another number).

54 - 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27.

36 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18.

As you can see here, the factor that is the greatest is 18. Therefore, that is your answer.

Hope this helps! :)

ANSWER

$y = 3 \pm \sqrt{21}$

EXPLANATION

The quadratic equation is:

${y}^{2} - 6y - 12 = 0$

Group variable terms:

${y}^{2} - 6y = 12$

Add the square of half, the coefficient of y to both sides.

${y}^{2} - 6y + ( - 3) ^{2} = 12 + ( - 3) ^{2}$

${y}^{2} - 6y + 9= 12 + 9$

The LHS us now a perfect square trinomial:

${(y - 3)}^{2}= 21$

Take square root:

$y - 3 = \pm \sqrt{21}$

$y = 3 \pm \sqrt{21}$

The first choice is correct.

3. Ken solved the linear equation 2(5y - 1) = 18 using the following steps.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

he actually made a mistake in second step. Step 2 should be: 10y-2=18 and then 10y=18+2

we get 10y=20 /:10

y = 2

In triangle ABC, A is a right angle and M B=45°. Find BC. If you answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.

Nataly_w [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

- In a right triangle, if ∠B is 45°, then ∠C is too.

-- Since ∠B and ∠C are equal, the sides opposite them

are equal too. This is an isosceles right triangle. Its legs

are equal.

-- (The hypotenuse)² = (one leg)² + (the other leg)²

= (12-ft)² + (12-ft)²

= (144 x 2)

The hypotenuse = √(144 x 2) = 12√2 .
