A rectangular prism is like a cardboard shoe box. It has two equal bases, one on the top and the other on the bottom. It also has 4 lateral faces to close the figure. The surface area of the prism is the area of all its faces: the 4 side faces and the 2 bases. On the other hand, lateral surface area only accounts for the 4 lateral faces. Therefore, we can conclude that the total surface area is equal to the lateral surface area plus the areas of the two bases.

TSA = LSA + 2s²

Since the base is said to be the square, its area is equal to s² where s is the base edge. Because there are 2 bases, that's why it's 2s².

264 = 192 + 2s²
s² = (264-192)/2
s = √36
s = 6 yards

Sarah is solving the equation -7/8x=24
ExtremeBDS [4]

the answer would be -21 because you would have to multiply the 24 by -7 because it is dividing on the other side. and then you would have to divide the number you get by 8

so basically, it will look like this step by step:

-7/8x=24

8x=24*-7

8x=-168

x=-168/8

x= -21

GrogVix [38]

7:56

Figure out what 7/3 is so you can multiply 24 by that number. Is is 2 1/3 so when you multiply 2 1/3 by 24 it gets you to 56 so the proportion is 7:56
