Answer: OPTION B
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem you must add the areas of each rectangle that form the prism;
The area of a rectangle can be calculated with the formula:
There are three pairs of equal rectangles, then you can find the surface area of 3 rectangles and multiply each one by 2, then you obtain that the surface area of the prism is:
Step 1:
Here we have -3 in subtraction on the left side, so when we take it to the right we apply opposite operation of subtraction that is addition.
Step 2:
Next we have 4 in multiplication on left side, so dividing right side by 4,
Step 3:
taking log on both sides
Step 4:
Dividing right side by 2,
x= ln (3.75) /2 = 0.66088
Answer : x = 0.66088..
