A = 2lw + 2lh + 2hw
A = 2(12)(3) + 2(12)(5) + 2(5)(3)
A = 72 + 120 + 30
A = 222 cm squared

Hope this helps!! :)

The amount of time it takes p people to paint d doors varies directly with the number of doors and inversely with the number of

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

4 people

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is a compound rule of three problem. The variables are:

number of people, number of doors, amount of time

the amount of time increases if the number of doors decreases, but the amount of time decreases if the number of people increases.

We can solve this problem by parts (using two simple rule of three):

4 people can paint 10 doors in 2 hours

Let's first find how many people would take to paint 25 doors in 2 hours (we make the amount of hours constant, so the rule of three is between number of people and number of doors):

4 people -> 10 doors -> 2 hours

X people -> 25 doors -> 2 hours

4/X = 10/25

X = 25*4/10 = 100/10 = 10

It would take 10 people to paint 25 doors in 2 hours.

Now, we make a inverse rule of three between the number of people and amount of time:

10 people paint 25 doors in 2 hours, how many people paint 25 doors in 5 hours:

10 people -> 25 doors -> 2 hours

X people -> 25 doors -> 5 hours

10*2 = X*5

X = 20/5 = 4 people

Andy wants to be able to do a 180 degree turn on his skateboard. He can now do a 120 degree turn. How many more degrees does he

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: $60^{\circ}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Andy wants to turn $180^{\circ}$ on his skateboard

Currently, he can make a turn of $120^{\circ}$

The difference between the required and current turn degree meets his goal i.e.

$\Rightarrow 180^{\circ}-120^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow 60^{\circ}$

Thus, he needs to turn by $60^{\circ}$ to meet his goal

The least common denominator of two fractions is 20. If you subtract the two denominations, you get 1. What are the denominators

LekaFEV [45]

Steps
find the Least Common Multiple of the denominators (which is called the Least Common Denominator).

Change each fraction (using equivalent fractions) to make their denominators the same as the least common denominator.

Then add (or subtract) the fractions, as we wish!
your denominators stay the same so its 20

What is the lateral surface area of the square pyramid below?

den301095 [7]

Answer:

lateral surface area = 48 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

The picture below is the square base pyramid you are referring. The lateral area is adding the area of the 4 triangles in the pyramid.

area of a triangle = 1/2 × b × h

The slant height of the triangle is gotten using Pythagoras theorem

lateral surface area = 4 × (1/2 × 3 × 8)

lateral surface area = 4 × 24/2

lateral surface area = 4 × 12

lateral surface area = 48 inches²
