Answer:  The height is 9 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the total of the areas of the 6 faces of the rectangular prism. Given 286 square feet.

The base given is 5ft by 7ft, so that will give the area of 2 faces;

the other pairs of faces have the unknown height as one factor

5ft by h and 7ft by h .  Create an equation with those factors:

2(5×7) + 2(5h)  + 2(7h) = 286  Distribute and compile

2(35) + 10h + 14h = 286    70 + 24h = 286 .  Solve for h

24h = 286 - 70 .    24h = 216 .  216 ÷ 24 = 9

h = 9

  So the height of the rectangular prism is 9 feet

Please help! try to make it short if you can! thank you so much!
Mumz [18]

For a, x is equal to the sum of the measures of the inside angle because the total degrees of a triangle is 180 and the total degrees of a line is 180. Since both the line and the triangle are missing the same amount, x would equal the interior degrees that are listed. I don’t know what m<x means for b, but if it’s asking for the value of x it’s 62+78= 140° which makes the missing interior angle 40°. Hope this helps!

Equation
Y=P%*X

Y= 25%*75
Converting percent to decimal:
p = 25%/100 = 0.25

Y = 0.25 * 75 
Y = 18.75
