We have an equation for the surface area of a rectangular prism:
A= 2 (w*l+ l*h+ h*w)
Plug l= 16 in, w= 12 in, and h= 5 in into the above equation, we have:
A= 2 (12 in*16 in+ 16 in* 5 in+ 5 in* 12 in)= 664 in^(2).
The final answer is 664 in^(2).
Hope this is helpful~
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=kx^2-1
(x/100-1)(x/100+1)=(x/100)^2 - 1^2 because it's a difference of squares ( (a-b)(a+b) = a^2-ab+ab-b^2 = a^2 - b^2):
(x/100)^2 - 1^2=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2 - 1=kx^2 - 1
(x/100)^2=kx^2
(x^2)/(100^2)=kx^2
1/(100^2)=k
1/10000=k
k=0.0001
9/21 as the original
1/7 is the simplified version
the power (or exponent) of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication. It is written as a small number to the right and above the base number. In this example the little "2" says to use 3 times in a multiplication: 2x2x2= 8
