Answer:
cylinder, has the least surface area
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to choose the shape that has the least surface area for the approximate volume desired. In general, the least area for the volume will be provided by a sphere, a "square" cylinder with height equal to diameter, and a cube, in order of increasing area.
__
We are asked to find the area and volume of two rectangular prisms, a cylinder, and a square pyramid. Then, we are to identify the shape with the least surface area. Volume and area formulas will be used for the purpose.
<h3>Rectangular Prism</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = LWH
A = 2(LW +H(L +W))
for length L, width W, and height H.
<u>a)</u><u> prism 1</u>
The given dimensions are L = W = 8 in, H = 5 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = (8 in)(8 in)(5 in) = 320 in³
A = 2((8 in)(8 in) +(5 in)(8 in +8 in)) = 2(64 in² +80 in²) = 288 in²
<u>b)</u><u> prism 2</u>
The given dimensions are L = 10 in, W = 8 in, H = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = (10 in)(8 in)(4 in) = 320 in³
A = 2((10 in)(8 in) +(4 in)(10 in +8 in)) = 2(80 in² +72 in²) = 304 in²
__
<h3>Cylinder</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = πr²h
A = 2πr(r +h)
for radius r and height h.
c) The given dimensions are r = 5 in, h = 4 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = π(5 in)²(4 in) = 100π in³ ≈ 314 in³
A = 2π(5 in)(5 in +4 in) = 90π in² ≈ 283 in²
__
<h3>Square Pyramid</h3>The relevant formulas are ...
V = 1/3s²h
A = s(s +2H)
for base side dimension s, vertical height h, and slant height H.
d) The given dimensions are s = 10 in, h = 10 in, H = 14 in. Then the volume and area are ...
V = 1/3(10 in)²(10 in) = 1000/3 in³ ≈ 333 in³
A = (10 in)(10 in + 2×14 in) = 380 in²
__
<h3>Summary</h3>The proposed figures have volume and area (rounded to the nearest unit) as follows:
The proposed <em>cylinder</em> requires the least amount of sheet metal for its construction. It has the least surface area of all of the shape choices offered.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
For a volume of 320 in³, a cube would have a surface area of 280.7 in². A "square" cylinder would have an area of 260.0 in². A sphere would have an area of 226.2 in². The above areas are somewhat larger because the shapes depart from the ideal aspect ratio.
Answer:
a) not proportional
b) proportional; k =
Step-by-step explanation:
a) for any proportional equation, the line must pass through the origin. The equation in a) is y = 4x + 1, and the '+1' is the y-intercept. This means that the line does not pass through the origin, so x and y cannot increase by the same amount (i.e. they are not proportional).
Another way to determine this is is to use the y = kx base. If you have an equation that fits that it's likely proportional.
Here, if the equation was only y = 4x then it'd be proportional because u can see that k = 4. This is not the equation though, and the 4x + 1 doesn't fit to the y = kx formula so it can't be proportional.
b) straight away you can see that there's no 'c' term (y = mx + c) which means the y-intercept is 0, so the line passes through the origin. While this does not immediately mean the line is proportional, you can make sure that it is by checking it fits with the y = kx equation.
y = -(3/5)x fits with y = kx, with k being -3/5
