Find the area of the base:
(4)(3) = 12sqft
Find the area of the sides:
(4)(12) = 48sqft
There are 2 bases and 4 sides, therefore:
12(2) + 48(4) = 24 + 192 = 216sqft
Hope this helps :)
Scale factor = new length/old length
scale factor = 10/2.5 = 4
The scale factor is 4.
The ans is choice D. since there nothing under 5x, imagine there is a 1 under. After that, you can simply cross multiply, so it would be 1(6+8x)= 2(5x). 6+8x= 10x now combine like terms so subtract 8x from both sides and divide 6 by 2 and you will get 3
