Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

68 = 2L + 2w

68 - 2L = 2w

2(34 - L) = 2(w)

34 - L = w

********************

Area (A) = L * w

240 = L (34 - L)

240 = 34L - L²

L² - 34L + 240 = 0

(L - 10)(L - 24) = 0

L = 10 or L = 24

w = 34 - L = 34 - 10 = 24 or w = 34 - 24 = 10

Answer: width = 10, length = 24 assuming length is bigger than the width

Answer: width = 10, length = 24 <em>assuming length is bigger than the width</em>

If w = 12 units, x = 7 units, and y = 8 units, what is the surface area of the figure? Figure is composed of a right square pyra

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

720 sq units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length and width of square prism, w = 12 units

Height of square prism, x = 7 units

Height of square pyramid, y = 8 units

Please have a look at the attached image.

Here 2 Surfaces will not be exposed which are base of the square pyramid and the top of the square prism i.e. 2 square surfaces will not be exposed.

Here, surface area of the composite figure will be:

<em>Surface Area of Composite Figure = Lateral surface area of Square Pyramid + Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism</em>

For finding the lateral surface area of pyramid, we need to find the slant height of the pyramid.

Let slant height be $l$ units.

Using pythagoras theorem, we can find out the value of $l$ .

As per theorem:

$Hypotenuse^{2} = Base^{2} + Height^{2}\\$

$\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{w}{2})^{2} + y^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = (\dfrac{12}{2})^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = {6}^{2} + 8^{2}\\\Rightarrow l^{2} = 36+64 = 100\\\Rightarrow l = 10\ units$

Lateral surface area of square prism = 4 $\times$ Area of triangular surface

$\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2}\times Base \times Slant\ Height\\\Rightarrow 4 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 12\\\Rightarrow 240\ sq\ units$

Surface Area of 5 surfaces of the square prism =

$4 \times x \times w + w^2\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 12 \times 7 + 12^2\\\Rightarrow 336 +144\\\Rightarrow 480\ sq\ units$

So, total surface area of composite figure:

240 + 480 = 720 sq units.

If the mortgage interest rates increase, this would be an example of changing your external environment.

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

<em>Economic conditions </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the mortgage interest rates increase, this would be an example of changing <em>Economic conditions in a company's</em> your external environment

Mortgage is the legal agreement/arrangement between a financial institution and a debtor wherein the Financial institution lends funds to the debtor at an interest rate, and also with the title of the property owned by the debtor.

once the debtor repays the mortgage he retains the full ownership of his property.
