The prism has 6 faces.
Each pair of opposite faces is congruent.

The front and back faces are rectangles that measure 10 cm by 5 cm.
The right and left faces are rectangles that measure 5 cm by 3 cm.
The top and bottom faces are rectangles that measure 10 cm by 3 cm.

Now we find the area of each rectangle.

The front and back faces are rectangles that measure 10 cm by 5 cm.
Each face:
A = 10 cm * 5 cm + 50 cm^2

The right and left faces are rectangles that measure 5 cm by 3 cm.
Each face:
A = 5 cm * 3 cm = 15 cm^2

The top and bottom faces are rectangles that measure 10 cm by 3 cm.
Each face:
A = 10 cm * 3 cm = 30 cm^2

There are two faces shaped like each rectangle above, so we multiply each rectangle's area by 2, and we add them together.

total surface area = 2 * 50 cm^2 + 2 * 15 cm^2 + 2 * 30 cm^2

total surface area = 100 cm^2 + 30 cm^2 + 60 cm^2

total surface area = 190 cm^2

Lance and Alex have 70 pencils. Lance has 4 times as many pencils as Alex. Alex's pencils are shared equally among 2 children. H

gogolik [260]

let l = lance, and a = alex.

so: l + a = 70

and l = 4a

Putting the value for l in the first equation:

4a +a = 70

5a = 70

a = 14.

So Alex has 14 pencils. And Lance has (70-14) 56 pencils.

And if each child gets half of Alex' pencils, then each child will have 7 pencils.

Answer:

Add the two angles: 43° + 47° = 90°.

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle has an angle that equals 90°. Complementary angles equal 90°. Therefore, if you add these two angles, you will know whether or not △ABC is a right triangle. Triangle △ABC is broken up into two angles, m∠ABD and m∠DBC. When the measures m∠ABD and m∠DBC are added together, they equal 90°, and thus, form a complementary angle.
