<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em>Lateral Area</em>

The lateral area is the area of the sides of the prism. If the faces are perpendicular to the bases, then each face is a rectangle. The area of each rectangle is the product of its length and width, generally the product of the height of the prism and the length of one edge of the base.

The total lateral area will then be the product of the height of the prism and the perimeter of the base.

<em>Total Area</em>

The total area is the sum of the lateral area (computed as above) and the area of the two bases of the prism. The formula for that area depends on the shape of the prism. (You have already seen formulas for the areas of triangles, rectangles, and other plane shapes. If not, they are readily available in your text or using a web search.)

I have 6 eggs, I broke 2 eggs, fried 2 eggs, and ate 2 eggs. How many eggs do I have left.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

4 eggs are left.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is actually a tricky question and the trick is that the person, who initially have 6 eggs, has broken two eggs out of them.

Those two broken eggs were then fried and later he ate those.

It is a single incident but in question it appears that 3 different incidents took place in which the person have used all 6.

So actually, he only ate 2 eggs out of 6.

Patrick is driving form Sydney to Canberra. He travels for 288km trip in 4 hours. What's his average speed?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

v = 72 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by the Patrick, d = 288 km

Time taken, t = 4 hours

We need to find the average speed of Patrick. We know that the average speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. Let it is v. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{288\ km}{4\ h}\\\\v=72\ km/h$

So, his average speed is equal to 72 km/h.
