You are creating a wedding cake for a couple. The couple has already picked out a design that they like. The cake is composed of

three tiers. Each tier is a square prism. The bottom tier has a length of 20 inches. The second tier has a length of 14 inches and the top tier has a length of 8 inches. Each tier has a height of 6 inches. The surface of the entire cake will need to be covered in frosting. How many cans of frosting will you need to buy, if each can covers 250 square inches?

Used Area from bottom box (green)= All 4 vertical faces +EFGH-IJKL
=(20*6+6*6+20*6+6*6)+20*6-14*6= 348 Square inches ...(i)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Used Area from middle box (Blue)= All 4 vertical faces +MNOP-QRST
=(14*6+6*6+14*6+6*6)+14*6-8*6=276 square inches...(ii)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Used Area from top box (Brown)= All 4 vertical faces +UVWX
=(8*6+6*6+8*6+6*6)+8*6=216 square inches...(iii)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

so the surface area of the cake to be covered= 348+276+216=840 square inches.

given that 1 can covers 250 square inches

so number of cans needed = 840/250=3.36

which means 4 cans needed.

ankoles [38]
The correct answer is beginning at 5 ounces, the graph is discontinuous every 5th integer of the domain.

It is a step function; there is not a continuous increase between values.  The shipping level is fixed for each price, then jumps to the next tier.  This will be a discontinuous graph.

Which of the following best explains how this relationship and the value of sin theta can be used to find the other trigonometri
Lena [83]

Answer:

OPtion I is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Once we know sin of an angle, and it lies in II quadrant, we know that

cos, sec, tan and cot would be negative but csc will be positive.

So use the fact that

sin^{2}t+cos^{2} t=1\\cost =-\sqrt{1-sin^2 t}

Thus cos is obtained using negative square root.

Now tan = sin/cos, and sec = 1/cos:

cot =1/tan and csc =1/sin

Thus all value can be obtained easily

So option I

At an intersection, the red-light times are normally distributed with a mean time of 3 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.25
denpristay [2]

Percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 95.44% .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1: Sketch the curve.

The probability that 2.5<X<3.5 is equal to the blue area under the curve.

Step 2:

Since μ=3 and σ=0.25 we have:

P ( 2.5 < X < 3.5 ) =P ( 2.5−3 <  X−μ < 3.5−3 )

⇒ P ( (2.5−3)/0.25 < (X−μ)/σ < (3.5−3)/0.25)

Since, Z = (x−μ)/σ , (2.5−3)/0.25 = −2 and (3.5−3)/0.25 = 2 we have:

P ( 2.5<X<3.5 )=P ( −2<Z<2 )

Step 3: Use the standard normal table to conclude that:

P ( −2<Z<2 )=0.9544

Percent of red lights last between 2.5 and 3.5 minutes is 0.9544(100) = 95.44% .

Leokris [45]

Answer:

The difference in earnings, over a 30-year career, for men vs women, is $1,200,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Per year.

The average man earns $90,761.

The average woman earns $50,756

So, per year, the difference is:

90,761 - 50,756 = 40,005

Over 30 years:

30*40,005 = 1,200,150

The difference in earnings, over a 30-year career, for men vs women, is $1,200,150

Application of the least squares method results in values of the y-intercept and the slope that minimizes the sum of the squared
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

c. observed values of the independent variable and the predicted values of the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

This helps us, for example, find the values of y in a y = f(x) equation. y is dependent of x. So x is the independent variable and y the dependent. Obviously, this system is used for way more complex equations, in which is hard to find an actual pattern for y, so we use this method to compare the predicted values of y to the observed.

The correct answer is:

c. observed values of the independent variable and the predicted values of the independent variable
