No, it does not.

In general, surface area is the sum of the areas of each face of a prism.  In a rectangular prism, we have length, width, and height.  

The area of the bottom of the prism and the top of the prism is the same, and can be represented as l*w.  This means that together, it is 2lw.

The area of the left and right faces of the prism is the same, and can be represented as l*h.  This means that together, it is 2lh.

The area of the front and back faces of the prism is the same, and can be represented as w*h.  This means that together, it is 2wh.

This gives us the equation

SA = 2lw+2lh+2wh

If we double the length and width, making them each 2l, we then have:

SA = 2(2l*2w) + 2(2l*h) + 2(2w*h)
      = 2(4lw) + 4lh + 4wh
      = 8lw + 4lh + 4wh

If the surface area had been doubled, we would expect 
4lw + 4lh + 4wh

No, it is not doubled.

It’s MATH who knows how to do this i’m down bad
AysviL [449]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. 7x + 2 = 5x + 22 (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

7x - 5x = -2 + 22

2x = 20

2x/2 = 20/2

x = 10

2. 13x - 6 = 10x + 24 (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Collect like terms

13x - 10x = 6 + 24

3x = 30

3x/3 = 30/3

x = 10

3. (12x + 26)° + 46° = 180° (same side interior angles are supplementary)

12x + 26 + 46 = 180

12x + 72 = 180

12x + 72 - 72 = 180 - 72

12x = 108

12x/12 = 108/12

x = 9

4. (5x + 5)° + 135° = 180° (same side interior angles are supplementary)

5x + 5 + 135 = 180

5x + 140 = 180

5x + 140 - 140 = 180 - 140

5x = 40

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

What is h(x)=|3x|-1 ? x=7. Insert 7 for x. Thanks!!
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: 20

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

h(x) = |3x| - 1

h(7) = |3(7)| - 1

      = |21| - 1

      =  21  - 1

      = 20

aimee's karate class last 1 hour and 15 minutes and is over at 5:00 pm. what time does Aimee's karate class start?
umka21 [38]
To solve this you would have to subtract 75 minutes from 5:00.

This would make the start time 3:45 pm.
