in which economic system does the government make decision about production and consumption?
In a command economy, the government makes decisions about production and consumption.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 3-dimensional vertical rectangular prism that appears as the letter upper C, with a rectangular portion removed from the right center. The rectangular prism is 15 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 1 foot deep. The width of the portion removed from the middle on the right side is 7 feet across. The height of the remaining two arms left at the top and bottom is 4 feet each.
In Los Cabos, Mexico, there is a big sculpture of block letters that welcomes you. The image shows the letter C
. What is its surface area?
To find the surface area of the C-shaped sculpture, we need to find the area of each face and add them up.
The front and back faces are both 15 feet high and 10 feet wide, so each has an area of 150 square feet.
The top and bottom faces are both 10 feet wide and 1 foot deep, so each has an area of 10 square feet.
The left and right faces are a bit more complicated. Each consists of a rectangle with an area of 15 x 1 = 15 square feet, plus a smaller rectangle with an area of (4 x 7) / 2 = 14 square feet (because it has a diagonal of 8 feet and a height of 4 feet, so the width is 7 feet). So each side face has an area of 29 square feet.
Adding up all the face areas gives us:
150 + 150 + 10 + 10 + 29 + 29 = 378 square feet
Therefore, the surface area of the C-shaped sculpture is 378 square feet.
dont forget to take the square root!
I apologize, but actually, taking the square root is not necessary in this case since we are dealing with surface area, which is typically measured in square units (not just linear units). The answer is indeed 378 square feet. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
that is not the answer
I apologize for my mistake. On reviewing the problem statement and the diagram more critically, the correct answer is:
The front and back faces have an area of 15 ft x 10 ft = 150 sq ft each.
The top and bottom faces have an area of 10 ft x 1 ft = 10 sq ft each.
The left and right faces have an area of 15 ft x 1 ft = 15 sq ft each, plus the missing portion which has dimensions of 1 ft x 7 ft = 7 sq ft. Therefore, each of the left and right faces has an area of 22 sq ft.
To find the total surface area, we add the areas of all the faces:
Total surface area = 2(150 sq ft) + 2(10 sq ft) + 2(22 sq ft) = 300 + 20 + 44 = 364 sq ft.
Therefore, the surface area of the C-shaped sculpture is 364 square feet.
I apologize for the confusion I may have caused earlier. Thank you for bringing it to my notice.
