Sorry...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the thing we were on closed. by itself so... sorry about leaving

OpenStudy (phi):

are we done with Q24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I think we were unless there are more steps to the probem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you mind helping me with two more questions?

OpenStudy (phi):

please post the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I did with this was use the formula. 2lw+2wh+2lh And I got a number way off.

OpenStudy (phi):

what numbers did you use for l, w and h?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So this is how my equation looked like. l= 13.5 w=18 h=7.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got wait... I think I might be right on this one, I got 958.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you round up!

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and if the tenths place is 5 or bigger, you round up 959

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay this is the last one! thank you for helping me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for this one what I did was I SA=LA+B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

S=13 So What I did was just find the base which is 10 *10 and added them together, and got 113 but that isn't a choice.

OpenStudy (phi):

S=13 is the altitude of the triangle (face) you need the area of the triangle and there are 4 triangles

OpenStudy (phi):

add a length to an area e.g. 13 + 100 "makes no sense"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, so how would you do this? Find the area of a triangle and then multiply it by how many triangles there are?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so to find the area of a triangle you use the equation 1/2bh correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the equation would be 1/2(10)(12)

OpenStudy (phi):

the triangle is "tilted" over, but it has a height (from its base up to the top angle) of S=13 (not 12)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, so it would be 65= each triangle

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and there are 4 triangle sides (and then add the bottom)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 260+100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 10*10=100

OpenStudy (phi):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha so the answer would be 360! thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have a good night!
