A chocolate bar measures 50 mm wide, 90 mm long, and 3 and 1 over 2 mm high. Will’s Wrapping Company is making a wrapper to cover the chocolate bar. Use the correct net and determine how much paper will be needed to make the wrapper. The net of a square prism with a height of 50 millimeters, a length of 90 millimeters, and a width of 3 and 1 over 2 millimeters. Will’s Wrapping Company needs 4,640 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar. Will’s Wrapping Company needs 4,990 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar. Will’s Wrapping Company needs 9,980 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar. Will’s Wrapping Company needs 19,960 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar.

"and 3 and 1 over 2 mm high" I'm not sure what this means... what are the 3 and the 1, and is this exactly how it's worded on the original page?

Elizabeth:

thats the image for it

ElectricImpurity:

Oh, so the 3 and 1 over 2 is 3 1/2 :P

Elizabeth:

?

ElectricImpurity:

\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

ElectricImpurity:

Ok, so I think the best way the solve the would be to seperate the rectangles, find the surface area of each one, and add it up.

Elizabeth:

do you have any question i could help you with?

ElectricImpurity:

Nah, but do you understand what to do on this?

Elizabeth:

no

Elizabeth:

this is the one i chose Will’s Wrapping Company needs 4,990 mm2 of paper to wrap the chocolate bar.

ElectricImpurity:

I don't think that's right

Elizabeth:

oh

ElectricImpurity:

You would multiply 90mm by 50 mm, then multiply that by 2 since there's two rectangles of the same size

Elizabeth:

ok so 90 x 50 x 2?

ElectricImpurity:

The for the outer 3 "flaps" (Not the inner one, since that was counted in one of the two bigger rectangles) you'd multiply their length (3 1/2 mm) by their width (50mm)

Elizabeth:

the answer is 9,000?

ElectricImpurity:

Then add it all together

ElectricImpurity:

Not 9000, we still have the outer flaps

Elizabeth:

so what do we do with the outer flaps?

ElectricImpurity:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @ElectricImpurity The for the outer 3 "flaps" (Not the inner one, since that was counted in one of the two bigger rectangles) you'd multiply their length (3 1/2 mm) by their width (50mm) \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Elizabeth:

9000 x 2 ?

ElectricImpurity:

Read what I just posted :P

Elizabeth:

so the answer is 9,980?

ElectricImpurity:

Yep!

Elizabeth:

YES thank you!

Elizabeth:

could you help me on anothother?

ElectricImpurity:

Sure

Elizabeth:

Use a net to find the surface area of the right triangular prism shown below: Three rectangles next to each other with a width of 7 feet. The first and second rectangles length are unknown, and the last is 10 feet long. There are two right triangles above and below the last rectangle. One is labeled with a base of 6 feet and a height of 8 feet. 198 square feet 216 square feet 270 square feet 280 square feet

ElectricImpurity:

First, see the two triangles? The add up to a rectangle, so their combined area is 48 feet

Elizabeth:

then it's 48 x 3?

ElectricImpurity:

Where did the 3 come from?

Elizabeth:

i thought that since i...... Nvm

ElectricImpurity:

Oh, ok. I'm not sure if the triangles equal the other rectanges EXACTLY. I think you might be right though

Elizabeth:

so the answer is 198?

ElectricImpurity:

Well, no. The rectangles area is 70 feet, while the combined triangles equal 48 feet

ElectricImpurity:

There's still one more rectangle, though.

Elizabeth:

so 216 or 270?

ElectricImpurity:

Pretty sure the last rectangle is 42 feet, so 188 + 42

ElectricImpurity:

No, that's not right...

Elizabeth:

yea the answer to that is 230 not ans answer for the question

ElectricImpurity:

Ah, maybe the two bigger rectangles aren't equal

Elizabeth:

do you have discord?

ElectricImpurity:

Yep

Elizabeth:

me to

ElectricImpurity:

(Discord username is the same as on here :P) Oh now I see, I measured the rectangle wrong, it's actually 7 x 8, the correct answer is 216.

Elizabeth:

the name is the same on here

Elizabeth:

thanks

ElectricImpurity:

No problem

Elizabeth:

i though it was between 216 and 270

Elizabeth:

could you help me on 2 more?

ElectricImpurity:

Alright :P

Elizabeth:

:D

Elizabeth:

Which net represents the pyramid below?

1 attachment
Elizabeth:

not this one

Elizabeth:

A square pyramid is shown. What is the surface area? A square based pyramid, with bases labeled 3.5 centimeters and side length of triangle labeled 7 centimeters. 19.25 cm2 30.625 cm2 49.625 cm2 61.25 cm2
