To find the surface area you will need to find the area of all 5 surfaces (faces) on the prism. On a triangular prism there are 2 triangular faces and 3 rectangular faces. All 3 rectangular faces are the same and the 2 triangular faces are also the same.
To find the area of the triangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:
A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 10 x 8.7
A = 43.5 in^2
To find the area of the rectangular faces, you will use the formula for finding the area of a rectangle:
A = bh
10 x 3
A = 30 in ^2
30 + 30 + 30 + 43.5 + 43.5 = 177
The minimum amount of wrapping paper needed for the gift is 177 square inches.
How to solve this: (in case you need it)
4n-18=52
4n-18+18=52+18
4n=70
4n/4=70/4
n=35/2
P=5 because the parenthesis mean multiplication, and when you multiply 3 times 5, you receive a product of 15. Then, 15-4 is 11, meaning that p=5.
Answer:
a) 
b) n = 381
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of
, and a confidence level of
, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

In which
z is the zscore that has a pvalue of
.
The margin of error is:

90% confidence level
So
, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of
, so
.
a. Assume that nothing is known about the percentage of computers with new operating systems. n = ?
When we do not know the proportion, we use
, which is when we are going to need the largest sample size.
The sample size is n when M = 0.01.






b. Assume that a recent survey suggests that 99% of computers use a new operating system. n = ?
Now we have that
. So






Rouding up
n = 381
