Tommy and Cole are planning to build an aquarium for their pet fish. If the dimensions of the aquarium are 17 inches long, 9 inches wide, and 11 inches tall, how much glass do they need to buy to enclose the aquarium?
surface area = __ square inches
its 878 yw
An illustration shows a 3 D cuboid with length, width, and height marked as 5 centimeters. The edges that are not visible are marked as dashed lines.
Manny created a storage bin for the family to hold the remote control and cell phone cords. What is the total surface area of the storage bin?
no
To calculate the total surface area of the storage bin, we need to find the area of each of the six faces of the cuboid.
1. Front and back faces:
- Area = length x height
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both front and back)
2. Side faces:
- Area = width x height
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both side faces)
3. Top and bottom faces:
- Area = length x width
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both top and bottom faces)
Now, add up all the areas:
25 (front and back) + 25 (side faces) + 25 (top and bottom) = 75 square cm
Therefore, the total surface area of Manny's storage bin is 75 square cm.
I apologize for the error in my calculation. Let's correct it.
To find the total surface area of the storage bin, you need to find the area of all six faces of the cuboid.
1. Front and back faces:
- Area = length x height
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both front and back faces)
2. Side faces:
- Area = width x height
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both side faces)
3. Top and bottom faces:
- Area = length x width
- Area = 5 cm x 5 cm
- Area = 25 square cm (for both top and bottom faces)
Now, add up all the areas:
25 (front and back) + 25 (side faces) + 25 (top and bottom) = 75 square cm
Therefore, the total surface area of Manny's storage bin is 75 square cm. Thank you for your patience.
To calculate the surface area of the aquarium, you need to find the area of each of the six sides and then add them all together.
1. Front and back sides:
- Area = length x height
- Area = 17 inches x 11 inches
- Area = 187 square inches (for both front and back)
2. Side walls:
- Area = width x height
- Area = 9 inches x 11 inches
- Area = 99 square inches (for both side walls)
3. Top and bottom:
- Area = length x width
- Area = 17 inches x 9 inches
- Area = 153 square inches (for both top and bottom)
Now, add up all the areas:
187 (front and back) + 99 (side walls) + 153 (top and bottom) = 439 square inches
Therefore, Tommy and Cole need to buy 439 square inches of glass to enclose the aquarium.
