This question is essentially asking you to find the surface area of the box.
The formula for SA on a rectangular prism is: 2(L*W+L*H+W*H)
L=Length W=Width H=Height

Lets input the information we know:
2(20*8+20*30+8*30)
Follow BEDMAS
2(160+600+240)
2(760+240)
2(1000)
2*1000
=2000

The box will need 2000 centimeters squared of material.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

-3/2

Explanation:

Slopes of perpendicular lines are opposite reciprocals, which means you flip them and switch them from positive to negative, or the other way around.

$7000 is compounded semiannually at a rate of 11% for 21years Find the total amount and round to the nearest cent

$\text{Given that }\$7000 \text{ is compounded semiannualy at a rate of }11\% \text{ for 21 years}\\
\\
\text{we know that the amount after t year when compounded is given by}\\
\\
A=P\left ( 1+\frac{r}{n} \right )^{nt}\\
\\
\text{here P is the principal amoount, so }P=7000,\\
\\
\text{r is the interest rate, }r=11\%=0.11\\
\\
\text{n is the number of times in a year, here semiannulay, so }n=2,\\
\\
\text{and t is the time, so }t=21\\
\\
\text{so the amount after 21 years is}$

$A=7000\left ( 1+\frac{0.11}{2} \right )^{2(21)}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A=7000\left ( 1+0.055 \right )^{42}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A=7000\left ( 1.055 \right )^{42}\\
\\
\Rightarrow A\approx 66328.68$
