Answer:

$\boxed{x = 7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔJKL ~ ΔMNP

So, the sides of both of the triangles are proportional.

Taking proportionality of their sides.

$\frac{JL}{JK} = \frac{MP}{MN}$

=> $\frac{20}{25} = \frac{4x-4}{30}$

Cross Multiplying

20 * 30 = 25(4x-4)

600 = 100x - 100

Adding 100 to both sides

600+100 = 120x

700 = 100x

Dividing both sides by 100

700/100 = x

x = 7

Answer:

$h=12.5\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of a square prism is given by the formula

$SA=2(b^2)+4bh$

where

b is the length side of the square base

h is the height of the prism

we have

$b=5\ in\\SA=300\ in^2$

substitute

$300=2(5^2)+4(5)h$

solve for h

$300=50+20h\\20h=300-50\\20h=250\\h=12.5\ in$
