- A copper casting is in the shape of a prism with an equilateral triangle base. The length of each base side is 17.80 centimeters, and the casting height is 16.23 centimeters. Copper weighs 8.8 grams per cubic centimeter. Determine the weight of the casting in kilograms. One kilogram equals 1000 grams. Round the answer to 2 decimal places.arrow_forwardA calendar is determined by using each of the 12 faces of a regular dodecahedron for one month of the year. With each side of the regular pentagonal face measuring 4cm, the area of each face is approximately 27.5 cm2. a What is the total surface area of the calendar? b If the material used to construct the calendar costs 0.8 of a cent per square centimeter, what is the cost of the materials used in construction?arrow_forwardWhen the length of each edge of a cube is increased by 1 cm, the volume is increase by 61 cm3. What is the length of each edge of the original cube?arrow_forward
