LOTS OF POINTS!!! HELP WITH 7 ANd EXPLAIN!!

Answer 1

Answer:

w=4

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a prism is SA= 2lw+2lh+2hw

We are trying to find out the width if the SA is 240 square inches, length is 12 inches, and the height is 5 inches. Let's plug these numbers into the equation.

240=(2*12*w)+(2*12*5)+(2*5*w)

          24w+120+10w

240= 34w+120

-120           -120

120= 34w

120/34 = 34w/34

w is approximately equal to 3.5 which can be rounded to 4

w=4

Hope this is right! It was confusing at first but I understood it!
