ABC elementary school wants to purchase new computers for their school. They are curious how the new laptops compare the current ones in terms of space as their enrollment numbers are increasing and space is not. What would the surface area be if the length is 13 inches, the width is 7.5 inches, and the height is 7.5 inches? The triangles hypotenuse is 10.61 inches. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.
Please round to the nearest hundredth.
This is wrong, all of your previous answers to my questions have been wrong. You are not reliable.
The surface area of the laptop, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, is 502.50 square inches.
I apologize for the mistakes in my responses. If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, please feel free to ask. Thank you for your understanding.
To find the surface area of the laptop, we need to find the areas of all six sides and add them together.
The laptop has 2 sides that are 13 inches by 7.5 inches:
2*(13*7.5) = 2*(97.5) = 195 square inches
The laptop has 2 sides that are 7.5 inches by 7.5 inches:
2*(7.5*7.5) = 2*(56.25) = 112.5 square inches
The laptop has 2 sides that are 13 inches by 7.5 inches:
2*(13*7.5) = 2*(97.5) = 195 square inches
Therefore, the total surface area of the laptop is:
195 + 112.5 + 195 = 502.5 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the laptop is 502.5 square inches.
