ANSWER

C. Factoring a perfect square trinomial.

EXPLANATION

The first step shown is:

{x}^{2}  +  \frac{b}{a}x + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}  =  -  \frac{c}{a} + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}

Observe that the left hand side is a perfect square trinomial.

In other words, the left hand side is of the form,

{m}^{2}  + 2mn +  {n}^{2}

which can be factored as:

{m}^{2}  + 2mn +  {n}^{2}  =  {(m + n)}^{2}

When we factor the perfect square trinomial on the left hand side, we obtain:

( x  + \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}  =  -  \frac{c}{a} + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}

The correct answer is C

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the surface area of the object by adding the surface areas of each part. We have many rectangle faces to count and two triangular faces. Each has a formula for the area. We will find the area of each and then add them all together.

Triangle - 0.5 *b*h

Rectangle - b*h

<u>Triangles</u>

There are two triangles on either side. The height is 1.5. The base is 1.8.

0.5(1.5)(1.8)=1.35 meters squared

Since there are two, we will add 1.35+1.35 in our final calculation.

<u>Rectangles</u>

We will start by calculating the largest rectangle on the side. It has height of 4 and a base of 2.5 (shown above left).

4(2.5)=10

Since there are two (one we can see and one we can't), we will add 10+10 in our final calculation.

Next we calculate the top and bottom. The height is 3 and the base is 2.5 on top. But the bottom sticks out more and adds 1.8 to its base.

Top - 3(2.5)=7.5

Bottom-3(2.5+1.8)=12.9

Finally, we will calculate the front side and back(not visible) as well as the slant up front. The back side has height 4 and base 3. The front side has base 3 and height 4-1.5=2.5. The slant has base 2.3 and height 3.

Back - 4(3)=12

Front- 3(2.5)=7.5

Slant - 3(2.3)=6.9

We add all together for the total surface area: 1.35+1.35+10+10+7.5+12.9+12+7.5+6.9=69.5 meters squared.
