What is the ratio for the surface areas of the rectangular prisms shown below, given that they are similar and that the ratio of their edge lengths is 3: 1

9 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given a linear ratio = a : b, then the corresponding area ratio is

a² : b²

Here the linear ratio of their edges = 3 : 1, hence

ratio of surface areas = 3² : 1² = 9 : 1

if you mean

then it's c. 8, -7/3

but if you mean

then it is

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
