Hey so yeah this can be a challenging problem, Vol (V) is much easier to solve than surface area (SA), but I'll show you how it's done, my friend.
First of all, V (prism) = area of base (B) × h
We know that the height (h) of this prism is given, which we'll need later on: h = 5 ft, and area of base (B) is given as 60 ft2
So V = 60 ft2 × 5 ft = 300 ft3
So now for the hard part... how to calculate the SA of this prism
IF YOU DON'T NEED SA FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM, DO NOT PROCEED!!!
[VERY DETAILED]
means solving the dimensions (sides) of that pesky polygon base (B) or lid.
The most important things about polygons are:
1) is it regular (same angle ° and side length)??
2) How many sides or angles??
This has to be regular, because they give you no other info so it has to be, in order to solve. And then it has 5 sides and angles = regular pentagon. ("penta" means 5).
Now there are 360° in any circle, so:
take the central angles of where the sides meet at the center forming triangles (see drawing above), each of those (5) central <'s = 360/5 = 72°
Now the apex of each of these triangles = 72°
but with our 5 triangles, we need to find the height of each triangle -- which is the midpoint of the side (base (b) of triangle), and h is perpendicular to this b. By bisecting that apex angle of 72, it forms 2 equal right triangles of
72/2 = 36°. So each right triangle has 36, 90, and?? 180-36-90 = 90-36 = 54°
let's call the base (b) = 1 side of pentagon
= side (s)
Therefore (see 2nd image drawn above) tangent (tan) of € = opposite/adjacent, or
tan (54) = h÷1/2b --> h = [tan (54)]×(1/2)b
1/2b = h/[tan (54)] = h/1.38
Also the area of each of the larger 5 triangles A(t) = 1/2b×h, and that area A(t) × 5 = area of whole pentagon base A(B)
So now after all that... our A(B) given at beginning = 60ft2. let's put it all together:
1/2b = h/[tan (54)] = h/1.38
A(t) = 1/2b×h, and A(B) = 5×A(t)
which means that A(B) = 5×(1/2b×h)
AND since the other calculation shows that 1/2b = h/1.38, plug that value into the A(B) formula...
.
.
.
now that we have height (h) of each triangle, we can go back to our tan equation for the triangle: tan (54) = 1.38 = h/(1/2b)
--> 1/2×b = h/1.38 --> base (b) = 2h/1.38
b = 2(4.06 ft)/1.38 = 8.12 ft/1.38 = 5.90 ft, for which b us also the width of each rectangular side panel (w)
length (l) of these sides was given as height of the whole prism = 5 ft
NOW FINALLY... THE FINAL SURFACE AREA OF THE PRISM (SA) = (2×A(B)) + (5×rectangular side)
SA = (2×60 ft2) + (5×(l×w)) = 120 ft2 + 5×5ft×5.9ft
SA = 120 ft2 + 147.62 ft2 = 267.62 ft2
Answer:
It does not converge
Step-by-step explanation:
the sign would probably be a negative. imagine this - - - - - - and then + + +, cancel out the negatives and plus then you are left with more negatives than positive so the sign will take the negative sign.
A statement which does not describe a characteristic of the line of best fit for a scatter plot is that: A. the line of best fit should be the average of all the data points.
<h3>What is a scatter plot?</h3>
A scatter plot can be defined as a type of graph which is used for the graphical representation of the values of two variables, with the resulting points showing any association (correlation) between the data set.
<h3>What is a line of best fit?</h3>
A line of best fit is also referred to as a trend line and it can be defined as a statistical (analytical) tool that is used in conjunction with a scatter plot, in order to determine whether or not there's any correlation between a data.
<h3>The characteristics of a
line of
best fit.</h3>
The statements which describe a characteristic of the line of best fit for a scatter plot include the following:
- The line should be as close to the points as possible.
- The number of points above the line should be equal to the number of points below the line.
- The distance between the points above the line and the line should be relatively equal to the distance between the points below the line and the line.
