Answer:

  no

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the sum of the areas of the faces.

There are 4 faces that are 5 cm wide. Their respective heights (from front, over the top) are ...

  1 cm, 2.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.3 cm

for a total height of 7.8 cm. Thus, those 4 faces have a total area of ...

  (5 cm)(7.8 cm) = 39.0 cm^2

__

The two trapezoidal faces each have bases of length 1 and 2 cm, and a "height" of 2.3 cm. Together, their areas are ...

  A = 2×(1/2)(b1 +b2)h = (b1 +b2)h

  A = (1 cm +2 cm)(2.3 cm) = 6.9 cm^2

__

The surface area of the entire trapezoidal prism is then ...

  total area = base area + lateral area = 6.9 cm^2 +39 cm^2

  total area = 45.9 cm^2

The student's answer of 57.4 cm^2 is not correct. (We don't know where that calculation came from.)

What is the equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4)?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Step 1: Define general form of equation of line</em>

An equation of a straight line on two-dimensional plane could be represented in form of: y = Mx + b, with M is slope and b is y-intercept

<em>Step 2: Set up the system to solve for parameters of equation of line </em>

<em>(solve for M and b)</em>

That equation passes 2 points, which are represented in form of (x, y), (5, -2) and (-3, 4).

Substitute these values of x and y into the original equation in step 1:

-2 = 5M + b

4 = -3M + b

<em>Step 3: Solve the system of equations in step 2 for M and b</em>

Subtract 1st equation from 2nd equation:

     6 = -8M

=> M = -6/8 = -3/4

Substitute M back into 1st equation:

=> -2 = 5*(-3/4) + b

=>  b = -2 + 15/4

=>  b = 7/4

=>  The equation of the line that passes through (5, -2) and (-3, 4):

      y = (-3/4)x + 7/4

Hope this helps!
