Since it is a rectangular prism, the front and back are the same. the sides are the same and the top and bottom are the same. You would find the area of the front and back first. Since they both have the same measurements, you can find the area of one of the faces and multiply by 2.
A=BH
A= 3x5
A=15
15x2=30
So the front and back's area is 30. Now you find the area of both sides. They are both rectangle so the formula is A=BH.
A=BH
A=3x5
A=15
15x2=30
Now you find the area of the top and bottom. It is also a rectangle so you will use the same formula.
A=BH
A=3x3
A=9
9x2=18
Finally, you add all these measurements together adn that is the surface area.
This surface area of this rectangle prism is 78.
After Sally had given 1/9 of her stamps to Andy, she had 280 stamps (since they now have equal shares). So 280 was 8/9 of what she started with, making the 1/9 she handed over equal to 280/8, that’s 35. And Andy was “under” by the same amount she was “over” an equal share, that’s 35 under matching her 35 over, which is 70 altogether.
By all means use algebra but you may find you can reason a word problem through in words.
Answer:
The distributive property is one of the most frequently used properties in math. In general, this term refers to the distributive property of multiplication which states that the. Definition: The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products.
