a) S=5x^{2}
b) S= \frac{12}{ x^{2} }
c) S= x^{2} + \frac{24}{x}
d) S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{x}
e)S= x^{2} + \frac{48}{ x^{2} }

We know that the side lengths of the square base are: x * x. The volume is 12, so for now, let's say that y is the other side length. Then, x * x * y = 12. We can solve for y: y = 12/x^2. Now, we find the surface area of the 5 sides.

Four of the sides have the same area: x * (12/x^2) = 12/x, so we multiply this by 4: 48/x.

The last side is the base: x * x = x^2.

We add 48/x to x^2:

x^2 + 48/x

So, the answer is the fourth choice, (d).

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

There are 17.4 minutes of commercials are shown each hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An hour has 60 minutes.

So in 3 hours, there are 3*60 = 180 minutes.

The commercials show 29% of the time.

So we have 0.29*180 = 52.2 minutes, in total, of commercial.

Per hour, we have 52.2/3 = 17.4 minutes of commercial.
