The original area of a face would be a^2. Now that you added b to the edge, the new area of each face would be (a+b)^2. To find how much the are increased, subtract a^2 from (a+b)^2.
So the answer is b(2a+b)
Answer: a) 8.779 years
b) 8.664 years
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
a)

- A: accumulated amount (balance)
- P: principal amount (original/initial investment)
- r: interest rate (convert to a decimal)
- n: number of times compounded per year
- t: number of years
Given: A = 1800, P = 900, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 3, t = unknown

b)


Answer:
261.67 cubic feet
Use the Cone Volume formula V=πr^2 h/3
Answer:
400 riders
Step-by-step explanation:
The Ferris wheel had 400 riders.
400*0.60=240.
Differnce of 2 pefect squares
a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
(p^2)^2-9^2=(p^2-9)(p^2+9)
p^2-9=(p-3)(p+3)
factored is
(p-3)(p+3)(p^2+9)
