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

Does the Commutative Property of Addition apply when you add two negative integers?
MAVERICK [17]

The commutative property of addition means we can add two integers in any order. So yes, It would still apply to two negative integers (for example, -2 + -3 and -3 + -2 both equal five)

Can you please help me on -6(7v-5)-3=3(v-6)
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

v = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(7v - 5) - 3 = 3(v - 6)

distribute -6 into 7v - 5

-42v + 30 - 3 = 3(v - 6)

distribute 3 into v - 6

-42v + 30 - 3 = 3v - 18

add 30 and -3 together

-42v + 27 = 3v - 18

subtract 3v from both sides

-45v + 27 = -18

subtract 27 from both sides

-45v = -45

divide by -45 on both sides

v = 1
