Use the formula to determine the surface area of a right rectangular prism where each edge length measures 12.75 cm.(1 point)

To find the surface area of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

where \( l \), \( w \), and \( h \) are the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively.

For a right rectangular prism where each edge length measures 12.75 cm, you can substitute \( l = w = h = 12.75 \) cm into the formula:

1. First, calculate \( lw \), \( lh \), and \( wh \):

   • \( lw = 12.75 \times 12.75 = 162.5625 \) cm²
   • \( lh = 12.75 \times 12.75 = 162.5625 \) cm²
   • \( wh = 12.75 \times 12.75 = 162.5625 \) cm²

2. Now plug these into the surface area formula: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(162.5625 + 162.5625 + 162.5625) \]

3. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 162.5625 + 162.5625 + 162.5625 = 487.6875 \]

4. Now multiply by 2: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 487.6875 = 975.375 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Rounding to two decimal places, the surface area is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} \approx 975.38 , \text{cm}^2 \]

The correct response is:

975.38 cm²

Find the surface area of a textbook that is 2 in. × 14 in. × 9 in

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism (in this case, a textbook), you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

where \( l \), \( w \), and \( h \) are the length, width, and height of the prism.

For the textbook with dimensions \( l = 2 , \text{in} \), \( w = 14 , \text{in} \), and \( h = 9 , \text{in} \), you'll compute as follows:

1. Calculate \( lw \), \( lh \), and \( wh \):

   • \( lw = 2 \times 14 = 28 , \text{in}^2 \)
   • \( lh = 2 \times 9 = 18 , \text{in}^2 \)
   • \( wh = 14 \times 9 = 126 , \text{in}^2 \)

2. Now plug these values into the surface area formula: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(28 + 18 + 126) \]

3. Simplify the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 28 + 18 + 126 = 172 \]

4. Now multiply by 2: \[ \text{Surface Area} = 2 \times 172 = 344 , \text{in}^2 \]

Thus, the surface area of the textbook is:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 344 , \text{in}^2 \]

Book A will require less wrapping paper because its surface area is 1.5 in.2
less than the surface area of Book B.
Book A will require less wrapping paper because its surface area is 1.5 in.2
less than the surface area of Book B.

To determine which book requires less wrapping paper, we need to calculate the surface area of both Book A and Book B using the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

Calculating Surface Area for Book A:

• Length (\(l\)) = 6.5 inches
• Width (\(w\)) = 1 inch
• Height (\(h\)) = 8.5 inches

1. Calculate \(lw\), \(lh\), and \(wh\): \[ lw = 6.5 \times 1 = 6.5 , \text{in}^2 \] \[ lh = 6.5 \times 8.5 = 55.25 , \text{in}^2 \] \[ wh = 1 \times 8.5 = 8.5 , \text{in}^2 \]

2. Now sum them up: \[ lw + lh + wh = 6.5 + 55.25 + 8.5 = 70.25 , \text{in}^2 \]

3. Finally, calculate the surface area: \[ \text{Surface Area of Book A} = 2 \times 70.25 = 140.5 , \text{in}^2 \]

Calculating Surface Area for Book B:

• Length (\(l\)) = 5.5 inches
• Width (\(w\)) = 2 inches
• Height (\(h\)) = 8 inches

1. Calculate \(lw\), \(lh\), and \(wh\): \[ lw = 5.5 \times 2 = 11 , \text{in}^2 \] \[ lh = 5.5 \times 8 = 44 , \text{in}^2 \] \[ wh = 2 \times 8 = 16 , \text{in}^2 \]

2. Now sum them up: \[ lw + lh + wh = 11 + 44 + 16 = 71 , \text{in}^2 \]

3. Finally, calculate the surface area: \[ \text{Surface Area of Book B} = 2 \times 71 = 142 , \text{in}^2 \]

Comparison of Surface Areas:

• Surface Area of Book A: \(140.5 , \text{in}^2\)
• Surface Area of Book B: \(142 , \text{in}^2\)

Conclusion:

Book A has a surface area of \(140.5 , \text{in}^2\), and Book B has a surface area of \(142 , \text{in}^2\).

Thus, Book A will require less wrapping paper because its surface area is \(1.5 , \text{in}^2\) less than the surface area of Book B.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Book A will require less wrapping paper because its surface area is 1.5 in.² less than the surface area of Book B.

A box needs to be decorated to use as a prop in a play. The bottom and the back of the box do not need to be decorated. What is the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated

L(27) w(20) h(20)

To calculate the surface area of the box that needs to be decorated, we need to consider the sides and the top of the box while excluding the bottom and the back.

The dimensions of the box are:

• Length (\(L\)) = 27 inches
• Width (\(W\)) = 20 inches
• Height (\(H\)) = 20 inches

Areas to Decorate

1. Top of the Box: The area of the top is calculated by multiplying the length and width: \[ \text{Top Area} = L \times W = 27 \times 20 = 540 , \text{in}^2 \]

2. Front of the Box: The area of the front is calculated by multiplying the width and height: \[ \text{Front Area} = W \times H = 20 \times 20 = 400 , \text{in}^2 \]

3. Left Side of the Box: The area of the left side is calculated by multiplying the height and length: \[ \text{Left Side Area} = H \times L = 20 \times 27 = 540 , \text{in}^2 \]

4. Right Side of the Box: The area of the right side is the same as the left side: \[ \text{Right Side Area} = H \times L = 20 \times 27 = 540 , \text{in}^2 \]

Total Area to be Decorated

Now, add up all the areas that need to be decorated: \[ \text{Total Decorated Surface Area} = \text{Top Area} + \text{Front Area} + \text{Left Side Area} + \text{Right Side Area} \]

Substituting the calculated areas: \[ \text{Total Decorated Surface Area} = 540 + 400 + 540 + 540 \]

Now, perform the addition: \[ \text{Total Decorated Surface Area} = 540 + 400 + 540 + 540 = 2020 , \text{in}^2 \]

Final Answer

The surface area of the box that needs to be decorated is: \[ \text{Total Decorated Surface Area} = 2020 , \text{in}^2 \]

choose one of these answers for the previous question
2,960 cm2
2,960 cm squared

1,880 cm2
1,880 cm squared

67 cm2
67 cm squared

1,080 cm

To compare the calculated surface area of the box that needs to be decorated, we first need to convert the calculated surface area from square inches to square centimeters, as the provided options are in square centimeters.

1 square inch is equal to 6.4516 square centimeters.

Converted Calculation

From the previous calculation, the decorated surface area was: \[ 2020 , \text{in}^2 \]

Now, convert it to square centimeters: \[ 2020 , \text{in}^2 \times 6.4516 , \text{cm}^2/\text{in}^2 \approx 13,004.472 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Since this is significantly larger than any of the choices provided, it indicates that either the dimensions given were in a different measurement or there was a specific error.

Correct Dimensional Analysis

However, since the possible answers were specifically stated, I will review the decorated areas calculated for the box based on the appropriate dimensions given to match one of your options.

Let’s attempt the calculation again more generally:

1. Total area based on your premise of excluding only one side's dimension should encompass checking against \( L \), \( W \), and \( H \).

Here are the areas involved:

• Top: \( L \times W = 27 \times 20 = 540 , \text{in}^2 \)
• Front: \( H \times W = 20 \times 20 = 400 , \text{in}^2 \)
• Left Side: \( H \times L = 20 \times 27 = 540 , \text{in}^2 \)
• Right Side: Same as left.

Final Decorative Area in cm²

Consolidate results from disagreement in assessment to result obtained again from understanding how measurement works: \[ \text{Decorated Area} = 540 + 400 + 540 + 540 = 2020 \text{in}^2 \]

Now let's convert this: \[ 2020 , \text{in}^2 \approx 13,004.472 , \text{cm}^2 \]

Given that** this error persists does not correlate to your choices** indicates no unique options exist based on parameters provided to derive.

Correct Matching

If the box dimensions measured truly derive directly back to rational square inches needing output in square cm**, based on conversion expectations on presented key values, none likely fit** your question based on physical assessments outlining dimensional values inferred from it, configured into dedicated area metrics.
