Please help!

anonymous · Answer

A. the height of the box is 15.

anonymous · Answer

How'd you get that?

anonymous · Answer

B. just do the area formula for the triangles and rectangles
double the area of the rectangles and triangle, because there is one each side, then add what u have together. That should be the right answer

anonymous · Answer

the line going through the middle of the triangle upwards is its height

anonymous · Answer

The height is not 15.  The length of one of the sloping edges is 15.

whpalmer4 · Answer

The end of the box is a pair of identical right triangles. You know the length of the hypotenuse, and you know twice the length of one of the other sides.  The height (the unknown side) can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem.
