Answer:

62 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangular prism is the sum of the areas of its six faces. Opposite faces have the same area, so it is the sum of 3 pairs of faces. The area of one face of each pair is the product of the dimensions of that face. Those three areas are ...

• L·W

• W·H

• H·L

so the total surface area is ...

A = 2(LW +WH +HL)

For hand calculation, this can be simplified a bit to ...

A = 2(LW +H(L+W)) . . . . . requires one less multiplication

For your prism, the area is ...

A = 2(5·2 + 3(5+2)) = 2(10 +21) = 62 . . . square units

the rectangular post shown at the right measures 2w-30 by w. the poster has an area of 5400 cm^2. what is The value of w ?

borishaifa [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

w(2w - 30) = 5400

2w²- 30w = 5400

2w² - 30w - 5400 = 0

(w - 60 ) ( w + 45 ) = 0

w= 60 w= - 45

only take the positive value

therefore w = 60

Find the simple interest on a $340 loan at a 15% annual interest rate for 1<br> year

Crank

Answer:

$51.

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest I = PRT/100 where P = amount of the loan , R = rate and T = the times in years.

I = 340 * 15 * 1 / 100

= 5100/100

= $51.

HELP IVE BEEN STUCK ON THIS FOREVER

jeyben [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

the figure I've circled is similar to yhe figure shown because when we compare the measurements of the length and breadth of both rectangles, we can see that both the rectangles have the see me measurements, 3ft and 7ft. The only difference however, is that the figures have been rotated differently, the figure shown is kept vertically, on the other hand, the figure I've circled is rotated horizontally.

hope that helps...
