The answer is: 5,614 square inches.
The explanation is shown below:
1. The gift on the bottom is a rectangular prism. To calculate its surface area, you must apply the following formula:
![SA=2[(l)(w)+(l)(h)+(h)(w)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA%3D2%5B%28l%29%28w%29%2B%28l%29%28h%29%2B%28h%29%28w%29%5D)
Where
is the length (20 inches),
is the width (42 inches) and
is the heigth (16 inches).
2. Substitute values:
![SA1=2[(20in)(42in)+(20in)(16in)+(16in)(42in)]=3,664in^{2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA1%3D2%5B%2820in%29%2842in%29%2B%2820in%29%2816in%29%2B%2816in%29%2842in%29%5D%3D3%2C664in%5E%7B2)
3. The surface area of the other gifts can be calculated with the formula for calculate the surface area of a cube:

Where
is the side.
4. The surface area of the bigger cube is:

5. The surface area of the smaller cube is:

6. The total surface area (the combined surface area of the three gifts) is:

Answer:
0.21
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is :

We need to solve it.
We know that,

So,

or

So, the value of the given expression is equal to 0.21.
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation: it increases by 2 every month
To find the zeros set the factors on the numerator equal to zero and solve
(x - 1) = 0 x = 1
(x + 1) = 0 x = -1
