A storage bin is a rectangular prism that measuring 114 cm long by 56 cm high by 56 cm deep. What is the surface area of the exterior, in square feet?

33.12 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We convert the dimensions to feet

1 cm = 0.0328084 feet

Length = 114cm

Hence

114 cm = 114 × 0.0328084 feet

= 3.74016 feet

≈ 3.7 feet

Height = 56cm

Hence

56 cm = 56 × 0.0328084 feet

= 1.83727 feet

≈ 1.8 feet

Depth(width) = 56cm

Hence

56 cm = 56 × 0.0328084 feet

= 1.83727 feet

≈ 1.8 feet

Step 2

The surface area of the rectangular prism

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

=2× (1.8×3.7+ 1.8×3.7 + 1.8 ×1.8)

≈33.12 square feet

the right system of equations to describe the situation would

be on the form:

x1 = 8000 + y1*t

and

x2 = 8000 + y2*t

where x1 and x2 represents the total money of imogene and her

friend respectively at the end of t years.

now for the value of amount earned, y1 and y2:

y1=8000*0.08

y2=2000*√(t-2)
