Enya is building a storage cupboard in the shape of a rectangular prism. the rectangular prism has a square base with side lengths of 2.3 feet and a height of 3.6 feet. use percentage to compare the amount of paint she would use to paint all but the bottom surface of the prism to the amount she would use to paint the entire prism. round your final answer to the nearest tenth. enya will paint % of the surface area of the storage cupboard. !

To answer this question you would need to find the surface area of this rectangular prism. In order to find the surface area you would find the areas of all six faces. The top and bottom faces would both be square with an area of 5.29 (2.3x 2.3)ft.². All for lateral faces would have areas of 8.28 (2.3x3.6)ft.². Adding these for faces along with the other two faces would give you a total surface area of 43.7 ft.². If you take away the bottom face which is not painted you will have a surface area that is going to be painted of 38.41 ft.². To determine the percentage of this rectangle or prism that is going to be painted, create a ratio of the amount painted to the total amount surface area. Divide these to create a decimal and then converted to a percent. 38.41/43.7=0.879 (87.9%).

Answer from: Quest

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

in this lesson, students will use double number lines and ratio reasoning to solve ratio problems. by partitioning double number lines into proportionate intervals, students will build an understanding of equivalent ratio relationships as those that are generated by multiplying or dividing two related quantities by the same number. this lesson will build upon students' prior understanding of multiplicative comparisons, number line reasoning and equivalent fractions (while highlighting the difference between equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios); and will build toward future work in this unit on building ratio tables, and work in future grades in proportionality, scaling, and expressing and graphing linear functions.

step-by-step explanation:

ratios represent a pattern or relationship that can be scaled.

equivalent ratios are pairs of ratios that represent the same relationship between quantities, and can be generated by multiplying or dividing both quantities in the ratio by the same factor.

Imogene invested $8,000 in a bank account that pays 8 percent simple interest at the end of each year. her friend invested the same amount in stocks where the growth of the investment is represented as 2,000 times the square root of 2 less than the time lapsed in years. if y1 and y2 represent the amount earned in dollars and t is the time lapsed in years, which system of equations correctly represents the situation?
