Answer to Problem 15PPS
The surface area of the cube is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula used:
The surface area S of a square pyramid is S = L + 2B
Calculation:
The objective is to find the surface area of the cube.
The lateral area L of a square pyramid is given by the formula
L = Ph
Where P is the perimeter of the base and h is the height the square pyramid.
The surface area S of a square pyramid is given by the formula
S = L + 2B
Where L is the lateral surface area and B is the area of the base.
On combining the last two formulas, the surface area is given by
Find the surface area of the square box
Put side = 5 in the surface area formula to find the surface area of the cube.
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is

Answer to Problem 15PPS
Scale Factor of Dilation | Original | ||
Length of Side | 5 | ||
Surface Area |
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Scale Factor of Dilation | Original | ||
Length of Side | ■ | ■ | ■ |
Surface Area | ■ | ■ | ■ |
Calculation:
Consider the table
Scale Factor of Dilation | Original | ||
Length of Side | 5 | ||
Surface Area |
The objective is to complete the table.
Put side = 10 in the volume formula to find the surface area of the cube.
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is
Put side = 15 in the volume formula to find the surface area of the cube.
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is
Therefore, the complete table is
Scale Factor of Dilation | Original | ||
Length of Side | 5 | ||
Surface Area |
Conclusion:
Therefore, the given table is completed.
(c)
To compare: the original surface area to the surface area after dilation.

Answer to Problem 15PPS
The new surface area is 4 times the original surface area when the scale factor is 2
The new surface area is 9 times the original surface area when the scale factor is 3
Explanation of Solution
The objective is to compare the original surface area to the surface are after dilation.
When the side of the cube is dilation by a scale factor 2 the new surface area is 4 times the original surface area.
When the side of the cube is dilation by a scale factor 3 the new surface area is 9 times the original surface area.
(d)
To explain:whether the same relationship exists with rectangular prism or not
(d)

Answer to Problem 15PPS
The same relation exist with the surface are of a rectangular prism
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The same relation exist with the surface are of a rectangular prism too because a cube is form of rectangle prism whose sides are equal.
The new surface area is the square of the scale factor of the side multiplied to the original surface area.
The original formula for surface area is
When length and width are double the new surface area becomes
Conclusion:
Therefore, the same relation exist with the surface are of a rectangular prism

How would they plan their weekend without up-to-date air temperature readings? Silent devastation - and maybe a hint of panic, also - hung in the room. Apprentice Taylor, who - as always - was late to the meeting, sensed that this was his chance to shine! Could they fake the data? At least for some hours (until the measurements would work again)? He used to spend a lot of time online and thus knew the value of fake data, especially when it spread fast! He reminded the crying professors of a prehistoric project with the title "Love your derivatives as you love yourself!" - back then, they had installed top-modern technology that not only measured the air temperature itself, but also its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and…arrow_forward
- Consider a forest where the population of a particular plant species grows exponentially. In a real-world scenario, we often deal with systems where the analytical function describing the phenomenon is not available. In such cases, numerical methods come in handy. For the sake of this task, however, you are provided with an analytical function so that you can compare the results of the numerical methods to some ground truth. The population P(t) of the plants at time t (in years) is given by the equation: P(t) = 200 0.03 t You are tasked with estimating the rate of change of the plant population at t = 5 years using numerical differentiation methods. First, compute the value of P'(t) at t = 5 analytically. Then, estimate P'(t) at t = 5 years using the following numerical differentiation methods: ⚫ forward difference method (2nd-order accurate) 3 ⚫ backward difference method (2nd-order accurate) ⚫ central difference method (2nd-order accurate) Use h = 0.5 as the step size and round all…arrow_forwardNicole organized a new corporation.
