Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
40% into a decimal = .40
.40 * 15 = 6
15 - 6 = 9
The total surface area of the triangular prism that has a height of h and the side length of a is given below.

<h3>What is a triangular prism?</h3>
A triangular prism is a closed solid that has two parallel triangular bases connected by a rectangle surface.
A box is in the shape of an equilateral triangular prism.
If the box is to be covered with paper on its lateral sides.
Let a be the side length of the equilateral triangle and h be the height of the prism.
Then the surface area of the triangular prism will be
Surface area = 2 × area of triangle + 3 × area of the rectangle
The area of the triangle will be

The area of the rectangle will be

Then the total surface area will be

You first need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator). You will need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers that is the denominator (2, 16, 8). Or, to say it another way, all the numbers in the denominator need to be a factor of this number.
You can find this by first checking if the largest number that is the denominator-- in this case 16-- is already the LCD, which means 16 is divisible by all the other numbers.
If this does not work, then multiply all the numbers together to get the LCD-- since you multiplied them together, you know that they will all be factors of the product.
However, you will be able to see that 16 is indeed the lowest common denominator:
2 × 8=16
8 × 2=16
16 × 1=16
So, after you find the LCD, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the number that you would need to multiply the denominator to get the LCD (the whole point is that you want to get the denominator to be the LCD, but to do that you need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same number to keep the fraction the same).
(1/2) x (8/8)= 8/16
(3/16) x (1/1)= 3/16
(7/8) x (2/2)= 14/16
Answer:
0.5 < x < 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The third side of the triangle must be longer than the difference of the other two sides:
x > (8.5 -8.0)
x > 0.5
And it must be shorter than their sum:
x < (8.5 +8.0)
x < 16.5
The third side must be in the range ...
0.5 < x < 16.5
_____
These limits are a direct consequence of the triangle inequality, which requires the sum of the two shortest sides exceed the length of the longest side.
