Answer:

the missing term is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there !

12x² - 75 =

= 3(4x² - 25)

use formula a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

= 3(2x - 5)(2x + 5)

= 3(2x + 5)(2x - 5)

the missing term is 5

Good luck !

Answer:

56cm²

Explanation:

the amount of material he needs would be the total surface area of the box. surface area can be calculated by finding the sum of surface area of all the sides of the box. since the opposite sides are equal, we can find the surface area of 3 different sides and then multiply it by 2.

(4 + 4) + (4 + 6) + (6 + 4) × 2

= 8 + 10 + 10 × 2

= 28 × 2

= 56cm²

i hope this helps! :D

A triangular plaque has side lengths of 8 inches, 13 inches, and 15 inches.

<h3>Answer: A) 52 square inches</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

a = 8, b = 13, and c = 15 are the sides of the triangle

s = (a+b+c)/2 = (8+13+15)/2 = 18 is the semi-perimeter, aka half the perimeter.

Those values are then plugged into Heron's Formula below

$A = \sqrt{s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)}\\\\A = \sqrt{18*(18-8)*(18-13)*(18-15)}\\\\A = \sqrt{18*(10)*(5)*(3)}\\\\A = \sqrt{2700}\\\\A = \sqrt{900*3}\\\\A = \sqrt{900}*\sqrt{3}\\\\A = 30\sqrt{3}\\\\A \approx 51.9615\\\\A \approx 52\\\\$
