1.List the dimensions of your box. Be sure to include the units (in, cm, ft, etc.). 2.Describe the shape of the cross section when the box is cut parallel to the base. 3.What is the surface area of the box? 4.What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10? 5.What is the volume of the box? 6.What is the volume of the box if it is scaled down by a factor of 1 10 ?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

...and you want us to do your assignment for you?

OpenStudy (misssunshinexxoxo):

Where's the box?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

More like, where is your work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey i got it

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Got what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got my dementions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got my box

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its L= 30cm W= 21cm

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

There has to be another dimension. What is the height?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey ? would you get you hieght from the base up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actualy the box is standing up

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

|dw:1435412007909:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait give me a second

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

|dw:1435412180299:dw| Found a better picture

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so my with would be 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just measured it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean hight

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

L= 30cm W= 21cm H= 13 cm

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

Surface Area of a Rectangular Prism = 2LW + 2LH + 2WH

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

So calculate the Surface Area using the dimensions and that formula I just posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i am calculating one second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey is it 2lxw

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 68147

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

al i did was did what you told me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abdullahM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont get it am i apost to add them up, x and then ad what.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

\(\sf\Large (2\times 30\times 21) + (2 \times 13 \times 21) + ( 2\times 13 \times 30)=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i new it hey ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but still not done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

134365920

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

how are you getting such huge numbers?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

ok, lets do this part by part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

what is \(\sf\Large (2\times 30\times 21) =?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1260

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

ok, now what is: \(\sf\Large (2 \times 13 \times 21)=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

546

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

and finally what is \(\sf\Large ( 2\times 13 \times 30)=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

780

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

and now finally what is: \(\sf\Large 1260 +546 +780=?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2586

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

and that's your surface area...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

|dw:1435414080138:dw|

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

erm let me fix that picture, brb

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

|dw:1435414559024:dw|

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

there we go

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

so what would be the cross section?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

hello....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is square AbdullahM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

excuse me but can i gett alittle bit of assistance please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xapproachesinfinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u r going 2 sit ther and wait, for what?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

well in the example it is a square, but for your question it would have to be a rectangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

for #4, multiply the surface area (2586) by 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 25860

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AbdullahM

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

correct

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

what is the formula for calculating volume? it's an easy formula :)

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

yohooo, I don't got all day...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey bro i am sorry my computer is kicking mmy butt and i had to walk my dogs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AbdullahM

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

btw, you tag people like @Tootles143 you should kinda already know that..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dood i am in 7th grade and i am in virtual school i dont understand the math with out it being taught to me. and this is not my openstudy it is my sisters this is her accout just using it for help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The volume of a rectangular prism is the length on the side times the width times the height.

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

so what is the volume for this box?

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @AbdullahM L= 30cm W= 21cm H= 13 cm \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is t like in that form

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 30x21x13

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

and that is..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8190

OpenStudy (anonymous):

abdullah

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

and that is your answer for #5

OpenStudy (abdullahm):

divide that by 10 and that is your answer for #6
