The values of x and y are  8 and 0 respectively.

<em><u>Explanation</u></em>

As 'p' is located at (0,0) and 'r'  is located at (-12,0) , that means both 'p' and 'r' are on the x-axis.  So point 'q' will be also on the x-axis , and 'q' is located at (x,y)

So, the value of y will be 0. That means the co ordinate of point 'q' is (x, 0)

Now, using the Distance formula, length of 'pq' = \sqrt{(x-0)^2 +(0-0)^2}= \sqrt{x^2}= x

and length of  'pr'  = \sqrt{(-12-0)^2+(0-0)^2}= \sqrt{144}=12

Given that,   pq : pr =2/3

So....

\frac{x}{12} =\frac{2}{3}\\ \\ 3x=24\\ \\ x= \frac{24}{3}=8

Thus, the values of x and y are  8 and 0 respectively.

The length of a rectangular prism is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. The height of the prism is 16 inches. What is the sur
finlep [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 12 in

width = 8 in

height = 16 in

surface area = ?

Formula

Surface area = 2( length x width) + 2(length x height) + 2((width x height)

Substitution

Surface area = 2(12 x 8) + 2(12 x 16) + 2(8 x 16)

Simplification

Surface area = 256 + 384 + 102

Result

Surface area = 832 in²
