Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Susu is solving the quadratic equation 4x^2 - 8x - 13 = 0 by completing the square

To apply completing the square method we need to get x^2 alone

Susu added 13 on both sides . So step 1 is correct

When we factor out 4, we divide both terms by 4

4(\frac{4x^2}{4} -\frac{8x}{2} )=13

4(x^2-2x)=13

Susu forgot to divide 8 by 4

So , error in step 2

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving by completing the square you are supposed to do (b/2)^2 and then add that to both sides.

In your example (-8/2)^2=16

You are supposed to add sixteen to both sides not 64

Susu forgot to divide 8 by 2 before she raised it to the to the second powerm that is why she got 64, which is incorrect.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST<br> the last two pics are for question two

Answer:

1. 702 square centimeters

2. m∠YWX = 63°

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

The total surface area is area of all the sides.

  • There are 2 triangles (slanted side) with base 14 and height 11. Thus area would be  2(\frac{1}{2}*14*11)=154
  • There are 2 triangles (another slanted side) with base 10 and height 12. Thus area would be  2(\frac{1}{2}*10*12)=120
  • There are two rectangles with base 10 and height 6. Thus area would be  2(10*6)=120
  • There are two rectangles with base 14 and height 6. Thus area would be  2(14*6)=168
  • The bottom is a rectangle with area 10 * 14 = 140

Adding all these up  154 + 120 + 120 + 168 + 140 = 702 centimeters square.

2.

Angle WYX is equal to 46° (vertical angles are equal).

Now looking at triangle XWY, we know all three angles will add up to 180°. Given x =71° and Y = 46°, we can figure out W (Angle YWX)

71 + 46 + Angle YWX = 180

Angle YWX = 180 - 71 - 46 = 63°

Second answer choice is correct.
