Because the surface area is of a 2-D SHAPE to find a area of a 2-D shape is l x w
To use the equation we need a1 and d(the common difference).
We have a1 = 57, we need to find d.
93-84 = 9; 84-75=9; 75-66=9; 66-57=9
d = 9
a350 = 57 + (350-1)(9)
a350 = 57 + (349)(9)
a350 = 57 + 3141
a350 = 3198
-5x-6.5>12
Add 6.5 to both sides...
-5x>18.5
Divide both sides by -5 and flip the sign...
x<-3.7
