(x + 1) / 5 = (x + 5) / 7
cross multiply
(x +1) x 7 = 5 x (x + 5)
7x + 7 = 5x + 25
take the like terms to one side
7x - 5x = 25 - 7
2x = 18
divide by 2 to isolate x
2x / 2 = 18 / 2
x = 9
check:
9 + 1 / 5 = 9 + 5 / 7
10 / 5 = 14 / 7
2 = 2
The surface area is given by:
S.A = 2 * (area of the top) + 2 * (area of the front) + 2 * (area of one side)
Substituting values we have:
S.A = 2 * (20) + 2 * (16) + 2 * (24)
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
Answer:
The surface area of the rectangular prism is:
S.A = 120 cm ^ 2
Your answer for this problem is x= 1
