That’s a Wrap
That’s a Wrap How you wrap a gift can say a lot about you. Some people conserve resources by reusing paper bags instead of purchasing wrapping paper. It may not look as nice at first, but you can unleash your crafty side and decorate the gift yourself.
No matter what you use to wrap a gift, you always need to consider the size of the object and how much paper you’ll need. Think about this during the 3-Act Mathematical Modeling lesson.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
the polygon are triangle, parallelogram, and trapezoid.
area of the triangle = l x b.
area = 6 x 8.
area = 48.
area of the parallelogram = 8.5 x 4.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
An earring has the shape of a rhombus.
The height is 5.2 mm and the area of the earring is 39 mm2.
area = l x h.
39 = l x 5.2.
l = 39/5.2.
l = 7.5.

Envision Math Common Core 6th Grade Answers Topic 7 Solve Area, Surface Area, And Volume Problems 91

PART A
Kira found the area of the deck by decomposing it into two identical trapezoids. Describe another strategy you could use to find the area of the deck.

Answer:
The area of the deck = 204 sq ft.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
area of trapezoid = area of the triangle + area of the rectangle.
area of triangle = 1/2(12)
area = 6.
area of rectangle = 16 x 12.
area = 192.
area of trapezoid = 6 + 6 + 192.
area = 12 + 192.
area = 204.

given that,
area of the deck = area of the triangle + area of the rectangle.
area = 1/2 x 12.
area = 6.
area of rectangle = 16 x 12.

w = 7 in.
h = 3 in.

Answer:
The surface area of the rectangular prism = 282 cubics in.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
l = 12 in, w = 7 in, and h = 3 in.
surface area of rectangular prism = 2(lw + lh + hw).
area = 2(12 x 7) + (7 x 3) + (12 x 3).
area = 2(84) + 21 + 36.
area = 2(141).
area = 282.

given that,
l = 5 cm, w = 6 cm, and h = 7 cm.
surface area of rectangular prism = 2(lw + lh + hw).
area = 2(5 x 6) + (7 x 6) + (5 x 7).
area = 2(30) + 42 + 35.
area = 2(107).
area = 214.

Question 1.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 6 Answers Topic 7 Solve Area, Surface Area, And Volume Problems 203

Answer:
The surface area of the pyramid = 10 sq in.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
bases = 4 in.
height = 5 in.
surface area of the pyramid = 1/2 (p x s).
area = 1/2 (4 x 5).
area = 1/2(20).
area = 10 sq in.

Question 2.
Envision Math Common Core Grade 6 Answers Topic 7 Solve Area, Surface Area, And Volume Problems 204
Answer:
The surface area of the pyramid = 21.35 sq cm.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
bases = 7 cm.
height = 6.1 cm.
surface area of the pyramid = 1/2 (p x s).
area = 1/2 (7 x 6.1).
area = 1/2(42.7).
area = 21.35 sq cm.

Question 3.
Each side of the base of a square pyramid is 10 ft and the height of each triangular face is 7 ft. Find the surface area of the pyramid.

Answer:
The surface area of the pyramid = 607 sq ft.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Each side of the base of a square pyramid is 10 ft and the height of each triangular face is 7ft.
surface area of the pyramid = axa + 2a √axa/4 + h x h.
where a = base edge.
h = height.
area = 100+ 20 √100/4 + 49.
area = 120 √25 + 49.
area = 120 x 5 + 7.
area = 600 + 7.
area = 607.

STEP 1 Find the number of small \(\frac{1}{4}\)-in. cubes that will fill the prism.
14 small \(\frac{1}{4}\)-in. cubes 31in. fit along the 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) in. side.
12 small \(\frac{1}{4}\)-in. cubes fit along the 3 in. side.
15 small \(\frac{1}{4}\)-in. cubes fit along the 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) in. side.
14 • 12 • 15 = 2,520 small \(\frac{1}{4}\)-in. cubes fill the prism.

STEP 2
Find the volume of each small 7-in. cube.
V = lwh = \(\frac{1}{4}\) in. • \(\frac{1}{4}\) in. • \(\frac{1}{4}\) in. = \(\frac{1}{64}\) in.3

STEP 3
Find the volume of the prism.
