Answer is NO, it does not double.

Step by step.

Equation for surface area (SA) = 2lw+2lh+2wh

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

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

If the surface area had been doubled, we should get the equation (4lw + 4lh + 4wh) for a doubled surface area.

So no, it is not doubled.

Solve the equation then check your solution 5p=140 A)28 B)700 C)-28 D)26

Kruka [31]

Answer:

p=28

Step-by-step explanation:

5p=140

To to find the value of p divide both sides by 5 (5p/5 and 140/5)

p=28!

Write parametric equations of the line 2x-y=3

dangina [55]

In this item we are given with the equation, 2x - y = 3. The equation contains two variables, x and y. We assume in this item that the value of x is independent of the value of y; however, y values depends on the given values of x. In parametric form, the equation would take the form,

f(x) = y = ax + b

where a is the numerical coefficient of x and b is constant. Transforming the given equation to this form,

f(x) = y = 2x - 3

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 24 miles drive to north.

10 miles drive to east.

Driving pattern form a right angle triangle, which has three leg including straight line distance from starting point (hypotenous).

Now, using Pythogorean theoram to find straight line distance from starting point.
