Eli made a wooden box in the shape of a rectangular prism. The box has a length of 5 inches, a width of 3 1/2 inches, and a heig

ht of 7 inches.
Part A. Eli wants to paint the entire box green and give the box to his dad as a gift. What is the total area that he will paint? Explain how you found your answer.
Part B. Can the box hold 22 cubic inches of packing peanuts? Explain how you know.

Answer:

Total surface area = 154 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The prism has a total of 6 surfaces: top and bottom, 2 sides, and 2 ends.

We have to find the area of each top, side, end, and then add these together, and then multiply the result by 2 to finish the job.

Area of top: (5 in)(3.5 in) = 17.5 in²

Area of side: (5 in)(7 in) = 35 in²

Area of end: (3.5 in)(7 in) = 24.5 in²

Now add these three results together and multiply the sum by 2:

2( 17.5 in² + 35 in² + 24.5 in²) = total surface area = 154 in²

To answer the other part of this question: find the volume of this prism:

V = length · width · ht = (5 in)(3.5 in)(7 in) = 122 in³.

Yes, this box can definitely hold 22 in³ of packing peanuts.

Integrate G(x,y,z)equalsz over the parabolic cylinder yequalszsquared, 0less than or equalsxless than or equals2, 0less than

yKpoI14uk [10]

I gather you're supposed to compute the integral of $G(x,y,z)=z$ over a surface $S$ that is the part of the parabolic cylinder $y=z^2$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le z\le\frac{\sqrt{15}}2$ .

We can parameterize $S$ by

$\vec s(x,z)=x\,\vec\imath+z^2\,\vec\jmath+z\,\vec k$

with the given constraints on $x$ and $z$ . Take the normal vector to $S$ to be

$\vec s_x\times\vec s_z=-\vec\jmath+2z\,\vec k$

so that the surface element is

$\mathrm dS=\|\vec s_x\times\vec s_z\|\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dz=\sqrt{1+4z^2}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dz$

Then in the integral, we have

$\displaystyle\iint_Sz\,\mathrm dS=\int_0^2\int_0^{\sqrt{15}/2}z\sqrt{1+4z^2}\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{21}2}$

C=5(y-8) solve for y

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The steps to do this :

$c = 5(y - 8)$

$c = 5y - 40$

$c + 40 = 5y$

$y = \frac{c + 40}{5}$
