Using the SA formula you'll have to substitute in the edge length for s.
SA = 6(312)²
SA = 584064
The surface area is 584,064 feet²
Hope this helps :)
False, it's the other way around: you divide the numerator by the denominator.
For example, to evaluate 
you divide 8 by 15:
Acres of planted corn = (2/7) * (4/5)
= (2/7) * .8 = 1.6 / 7 acres = 0.2285714286 acres
For the answer to the question above,
1 + nx + [n(n-1)/(2-factorial)](x)^2 + [n(n-1)(n-2)/3-factorial] (x)^3
<span>1 + nx + [n(n-1)/(2 x 1)](x)^2 + [n(n-1)(n-2)/3 x 2 x 1] (x)^3 </span>
<span>1 + nx + [n(n-1)/2](x)^2 + [n(n-1)(n-2)/6] (x)^3 </span>
<span>1 + 9x + 36x^2 + 84x^3 </span>
<span>In my experience, up to the x^3 is often adequate to approximate a route. </span>
<span>(1+x) = 0.98 </span>
<span>x = 0.98 - 1 = -0.02 </span>
<span>Substituting: </span>
<span>1 + 9(-0.02) + 36(-0.02)^2 + 84(-0.02)^3 </span>
<span>approximation = 0.834 </span>
<span>Checking the real value in your calculator: </span>
<span>(0.98)^9 = 0.834 </span>
<span>So you have approximated correctly. </span>
<span>If you want to know how accurate your approximation is, write out the result of each in full: </span>
<span>1 + 9(-0.02) + 36(-0.02)^2 + 84(-0.02)^3 = 0.833728 </span>
<span> (0.98)^9 = 0.8337477621 </span>
<span>So it is correct to 4</span>
well, since a foot is 12inches, 6' 3" will just be 6.25' and 13' 6" will be 13.5'.
Check the picture below.
Make sure your calculator is in Degree mode.
