Your surface area is: S=x^2+4xh=84 square inches and h=2 inches; so you get:
x^2+(4×2)x=84
x^2+8x-84=0 qhich is a quadratic equation. Using the quadratic formula you get two results for x:
x1=-14 and x2=6
choose the second (positive)

A standard showerhead in Sonia's house dispenses 12 gallons of water per minute. Sonia changed this showerhead to an energy-savi
diamong [38]

Sonia saves a lot of water. To figure this out, you plug the number 8 into the equation, replacing it with the variable x. y = 3(8). Therefore, y=24. To find out how much water she saves, you have to also figure out how much water she was using for 8 minutes with the other shower head, the one that wastes the water. Since it dispenses 12 gallons per minute, you multiply that by 8 minutes and get 96. Subtract 24 from 96 and get 72. Which I think is your answer. Then again, I'm in high school so I most likely am wrong.
