<span>The total surface area is SA = 6 </span>×

;
SA = 6 ×

= 6 × 81 = 486

;
Y=mx+b
b=y intercept
the current one is y=-2
6 units up is -2+6=4
new one is 4
To find the surface area of the cube using the formula, you would substitute in 2 1/2 for the length of the side.
SA = 6 x 2.5 x 2.5
SA = 37.5 ft.²
You are finding the area of one face (2.5 x 2.5) and multiplying it by six because there are six groups of this.
There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1.
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)
hope this helps
To find the volume, you cube the edges.
So make it easier, you can cube the numerator and then the denominator.
2*2=4*2=8
3*3=9*3=27
8/27
You cannot simplify it any more.
The volume of the container is 8/27 feet cubes.
