Question

A company manufactures aluminum mailboxes in the shape of a box with a half-cylinder top. The company will make 1545 mailboxes this week. If each mailbox has dimensions as shown in the figure to the right, how many square meters of aluminum will be needed to make these mailboxes? If necessary, refer to the list of geometry formulas. For your calculations, do not round any intermediate steps, and use the $\pi$ button on the ALEKS calculator. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. $m^2$

Step 1

The box has dimensions of 0.2 meters by 0.2 meters by 0.105 meters. The surface area of a box is given by the formula: 2lw + 2lh + 2wh. So, the surface area of the box is: 2(0.2)(0.2) + 2(0.2)(0.105) + 2(0.2)(0.105) = 0.08 + 0.042 + 0.042 = 0.164 square meters. Show more…
