To get the amount of paper required to cover the box, we find the area of the box. 
The dimensions of the box are as follows:
length=21/2 ft
width=11/2 ft
height=4 ft

Area of the box is given by the formula:
SA=2lw+2lh+2hw
SA=2(21/2×11/2)+2(21/2×4)+2(11/2×4)
SA=2(231/4)+2(42)+2(11/2×4)
SA=115.5+84+44
SA=243.5  ft²
Stella will need 243.5 ft²

The base of an isosceles triangle is 7 cm longer than the legs. Find the legs if the perimeter of the triangle is 43 cm.
Solution 1
If L represents the leg length, the perimeter is ...
  43 cm = L + L + (L +7 cm)
  36 cm = 3L
  12 cm = L

The length of the legs is 12 cm.

Choose the ratio that you would use to convert 5.5 pounds to ounces. Remember that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. A.
Solution 1
Given that there are 16 ounces in 1 pound then the number of ounces in 5.5 pounds will be given by the ratio:
(5.5)/1×16
This can be simplified further to
5.5×16
=88 ounces
Question
A hospital needs a circular landing pad for their helicopter. The landing pad should be 5000 square feet. The contractor calculated that the pad would need to be about 40 feet across. Formulas Is the contractor correct? If not, what error did the contractor make? Yes, the answer is correct. No, he forgot to multiply by pi (3.14). No, he forgot to multiply the radius by 2. No, he used the formula for circumference.
Solution 1
We know that
area of a circle=pi*r²-------> r=√[area/pi]
for area=5000 ft²
r=√[5000/pi]----> r=39.90 ft
39.90*2-----> 79.8 ft of diameter
79.8 ft is > 40 ft

therefore
the answer is
No, he forgot to multiply the radius by 2.

Solution 1
The starling would fly 195 miles

1.
50*x=125
x=2.5

2. 
2.5 * 78 = 195 miles
Solution 2

Answer:

195 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

50*x=125

x=2.5

2.5*78=195miles

Question
Make up an equation of the form y = kx +b, the graph of which passes through the following points: P (4, 1) and Q (3, –5)
Solution 1

The given points are

P(4,1) , Q(3,-5)

First we find the slope using slope formula which is

m= \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2}- x_{1}}

Substituting the values of x1,y1 and x2, y2, we will get

m = \frac{-5-1}{3-4} = 6

Now we use slope point form, which is

y-y_{1} = m (x-x_{1})

Using the values of m,x1 and y1, we will get

y-1=6(x-4) \\ y-1=6x-24 \\ y = 6x-23

Question
Find the average rate of change for f(x) = x2 + 7x + 10 from x = −5 to x = 2.
Solution 1
To find the average rate of change for the function between the two given values of 'x', we need to evaluate the function for each input.

f(-5) = (-5)² + 7(-5) + 10
f(-5) = 0  so the point (-5, 0) is on the parabola

f(2) = (2)² + 7(2) + 10
f(2) = 28  so the point (2, 28) is on the parabola
now we can use the slope formula to find the rate of change between the two points:
\frac{28-0}{2-(-5)} = \frac{28}{7} = 4

So the average rate of change between the values of -5 and 2 for the function is 4... Hope this helps.
