--------------------------------------------------
Define x :
--------------------------------------------------
Let Cheryl be x years old.
Cheryl = x
Lisa = x + 6

--------------------------------------------------
In two years time:
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x + 2
Lisa = x + 8

--------------------------------------------------
Lisa will be twice as old as Cheryl :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)

--------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------
x + 8 = 2(x + 2)
x + 8 = 2x + 4
x = 4

--------------------------------------------------
Find their age :
--------------------------------------------------
Cheryl = x = 4
Lisa = x + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

--------------------------------------------------
Answer: Lisa is 10 years old now.

Find the surface area of the prism formed by the net

Lunna [17]

ANSWER

$T.S.A=1960m^2$

EXPLANATION

The diagram represents the net of a rectangular prism.

The dimensions are,

$l=42m$

$w = 14m$

and

$h = 7m$

The total surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:

$T.S.A=2(lw + lh + wh)$

We substitute the values to obtain,

$T.S.A=2(42 \times 14 + 42 \times 7 + 14 \times 7)$

$T.S.A=2(980)m^2$

$T.S.A=1960m^2$

Answer:

$\sf\Huge\boxed{C.40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

Remember: sum of interior angles of a triangle = 180

so to find x we use this equation

180 = 90 + 7x + 5 + 9x + 5 ( the little square in the triangle indicates that the angle is a right angle. right angles have a measure of 90 so that's where the 90 came from.)

now we solve for x

step 1 combine like terms

90 + 5 + 5 = 100

7x + 9x = 16x

now we have 180 = 16x + 100

step 2 subtract 100 from each side

180 - 100 = 80

100 - 100 cancels out

now we have 80 = 16x

step 3 divide each side by 16

80/16 = 5

16x/16=x

we're left with x = 5

Finally we plug in 5 into x for angle a

7(5)+5

7*5=35

35+5=40

so we can conclude that the measure of angle A is 40 degrees
