Question 7 What is the perimeter of a regular pentagon with side length 8 cm? 40 cm 48 cm 32 cm 24 cm Question 10 What is the surface area of a cube with side length 9 km ? Question 14 What is the surface area of a rectangular prism with length 15 m, width 9 m, and height 6 m? 810 m2 450 m2 558 m2 279 m2 Question 16 Which units are most appropriate for measuring the area of a desktop? cubic inches square inches cubic miles square miles Question 31 If the length of each side of a cube is tripled, is the surface area tripled? Use an example to support your answer.

7. 40 cm 10. 486 km^2 14. 558 m^2 16. square inches 31. No, it is multiplied with 9. A cube has a side length of 2 cm. It has a surface area of 24 cm^2. When this side length is tripled, the side length is 6 cm. This has a surface area of 216 cm^2. See what factor causes this change in surface area by setting up the ratio of the new surface area to the original surface area. 216/24 = 9 Instead of being tripled, the surface area is multiplied with 9.

did i get these right

OpenStudy (aravindg):

7.right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the others

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

all correct.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

7 is right...10 isn't though...and I haven't checked the others.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 749

OpenStudy (shane_b):

Surface area of a cube is:\[A_{surface}=6a^2\]Since the length of each side is 9km, the area of each side is 81km^2. Multiply that times 6 and you get 486km^2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

opps 729

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i said for number 10

OpenStudy (shane_b):

omg...I'm blind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

For 31 : 31. No, it is multiplied with 9. A cube has a side length of 2 cm. It has a surface area of 24 cm^2. When this side length is tripled, the side length is 6 cm. This has a surface area of 216 cm^2. See what factor causes this change in surface area by setting up the ratio of the new surface area to the original surface area. 216/24 = 9 Instead of being tripled, the surface area is multiplied with 9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right???

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its right.. they are asking for example only in the Q..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so if turned this in i would get a 100 right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yup you got 100 already.. from OS :) for 31 : add below info aswell A is proportional to L^2. so if L triples, A become 9 times

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I agree that they are all correct...just looked at the others.

OpenStudy (shane_b):

including ganeshie8's correct to 31.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you all helped me i would give you both best answer but i cant :(

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I didn't do anything...@ganeshie8 got this one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok he will get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks everyone

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Shane double confirmed me.. i already gave Best answer to yoyo... so cant give another :(

OpenStudy (shane_b):

I won't lose any sleep over OS points :)
