Question

calculate the surface area of right rectangular prisms each Edge length is 15 ft

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To calculate the surface area of a right rectangular prism, you need to find the areas of all six faces and then add them together.

Since all the edge lengths are equal to 15 ft, the prism is a cube. In this case, all the faces are congruent squares.

The formula to calculate the surface area of a cube or a square is: S = 6s^2, where S is the surface area and s is the length of one side.

In this case, s = 15 ft, so the surface area (S) of the right rectangular prism is:

S = 6 * (15 ft)^2
= 6 * 225 ft^2
= 1350 ft^2

Therefore, the surface area of the right rectangular prism is 1350 square feet.

Caroline needs to find the surface area of a cereal box for an art project . the box is a rectangular prism with a length of 8 inches of height of 12 in and a width of 2 inches. what is the surface area

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, you need to find the areas of all six faces and then add them together.

The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is: S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where S is the surface area, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

In this case, the length (l) is 8 inches, the height (h) is 12 inches, and the width (w) is 2 inches.

Substituting these values into the formula:

S = 2(8 in * 2 in) + 2(8 in * 12 in) + 2(2 in * 12 in)
= 2(16 in^2) + 2(96 in^2) + 2(24 in^2)
= 32 in^2 + 192 in^2 + 48 in^2
= 272 in^2

Therefore, the surface area of the cereal box is 272 square inches.

I’m wrapping paper measures 25” x 405” the boxes being wrapped are 16 inches times 14 inches times 6 inches how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper?

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we need to calculate the surface area of both the wrapping paper and the individual boxes.

First, let's calculate the surface area of the wrapping paper. The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangle is: S = 2lw + 2lh, where S is the surface area, l is the length, and w is the width.

The dimensions of the wrapping paper are 25" x 405", so the surface area of the wrapping paper is:

S_wrapping_paper = 2(25" x 405") + 2(25" x 405")
= 2(10125 in^2) + 2(10125 in^2)
= 40500 in^2 + 40500 in^2
= 81000 in^2

Now let's calculate the surface area of a single box. The formula to calculate the surface area of a rectangular prism is: S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where S is the surface area, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

The dimensions of each box are 16" x 14" x 6", so the surface area of each box is:

S_box = 2(16" x 14") + 2(16" x 6") + 2(14" x 6")
= 2(224 in^2) + 2(96 in^2) + 2(84 in^2)
= 448 in^2 + 192 in^2 + 168 in^2
= 808 in^2

Now we can determine how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper by dividing the surface area of the wrapping paper by the surface area of each box:

Number of boxes = S_wrapping_paper / S_box
= 81000 in^2 / 808 in^2
≈ 100.25

Since we cannot have a fractional number of boxes, we can conclude that one roll of wrapping paper can wrap approximately 100 complete boxes.

Apologies for the incorrect response. Let's recalculate correctly.

To find out how many complete boxes can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper, we need to determine the surface area of the wrapping paper and the surface area of each box.

The surface area (SA) of the wrapping paper is given as 25" x 405". Therefore:

SA_wrapping_paper = 25" x 405" = 10,125 square inches

The surface area (SA) of each box is calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. Given the dimensions 16 inches x 14 inches x 6 inches, the surface area is:

SA_box = 2(16" x 14") + 2(16" x 6") + 2(14" x 6")
= 2(224 in^2) + 2(96 in^2) + 2(84 in^2)
= 448 in^2 + 192 in^2 + 168 in^2
= 808 in^2

Now, to determine the number of boxes that can be wrapped, we divide the surface area of the wrapping paper by the surface area of each box:

Number of boxes = SA_wrapping_paper / SA_box
= 10,125 square inches / 808 square inches
≈ 12.53

Since we cannot wrap a fraction of a box, the maximum number of complete boxes that can be wrapped with one roll of wrapping paper is 12.

Apologies for the incorrect previous response. One roll of wrapping paper can wrap 12 complete boxes.
