Answer:
I think b) is the answer I solve it but
Surface area = base area + side area
= pi * 7^2 + pi * 7 * 27 = 238pi = 747.7 cm^2
I'm not sure what your variables are, but I will try task 3 with you.
y=$500(in billions)
x= the number of years that have passed since 2009
percentage of decrease: 1 - % =
so your formula will look like this: y(1 - %)^x
I believe the answer to your question is the distributive property
