When tyson opens a cereal box and lays it out flat, he sees that both the top and the bottom of the box measure 3 inches by 9 inches. both sides of the box measures 3 inches by 12 inches, and both the front and back of the box measure 9 inches by 12. what is the surface area of the cereal box?

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Areas

If some surface is made of smaller parts, the total area can be computed as the sum of the particular areas. The area of a rectangle of dimensions a and b is

The cereal box is made of 6 rectangles. We'll calculate their areas and then add them to find the total area. For the top and the bottom, we compute twice the area of a rectangle

The sides of the box measure 3 inches by 12 inches, their area is

The front and back of the box measure 9 inches by 12

The total area of the flattened cereal box is

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
