Example:  <span>the second step in the process for factoring the trinomial x^2-3x-40 is to:</span> <span>Well you really should find the sum of the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>But before you can do that, you need to LIST the factors of −40 (not 40) </span>
<span>−1 * 40 </span>
<span>−2 * 20 </span>
<span>−4 * 10 </span>
<span>−5 * 8 </span>
<span>−8 * 5 </span>
<span>−10 * 4 </span>
<span>−20 * 2 </span>
<span>−40 * 1 </span>

<span>NOW we find the sum of the factors of −40 </span>
<span>−1 + 40 = 39 </span>
<span>−2 + 20 = 18 </span>
<span>−4 + 10 = 6 </span>
<span>−5 + 8 = 3 </span>
<span>−8 + 5 = −3 </span>
<span>−10 + 4 = −6 </span>
<span>−20 + 2 = −18 </span>
<span>−40 + 1 = −39 </span>

<span>Then we choose the factors of −40 whose sum is −3 ---> −8 and 5 </span>
<span>x^2 − 3x − 40 = (x − 8) (x + 5) </span>

<span>So FIRST step is B, SECOND step is C, and final step is factoring. </span>
What Rita did was combine these 2 steps together, which you will learn to do as you get better at factoring.

Which step is the same when constructing an inscribed regular hexagon and an inscribed equilateral triangle?.
Naddik [55]

Step is the same when constructing an inscribed regular hexagon and an inscribed equilateral triangle is shown below:

<h3 /><h3>What is construction?</h3>

Geometric construction is the process of drawing a geometrical figure using two geometrical instruments, a compass, and a ruler.

Construction of an inscribed regular hexagon

1) Set compass width to the radius of the circle

2) Make an arc on the circle with the set radius.

3) From the previous arc draw another arc with the same radius.

4) Continue this process for the other vertex.

5) Connect all the vertices.

Construction of an inscribed equilateral triangle

1) Set compass width to the radius of the circle

2) Make an arc on the circle with the set radius.

3)From the previous arc draw another arc with the same radius.

4)Continue this process for the other vertex.

5) Connect the every other vertices point by drawing  a line between every other adjacent vertex point to form an inscribed equilateral triangle.

PLEASE HELP<br><br> Find the surface area of the triangular prism.
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

139

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find all the faces that you must find the areas of. In this case, you need to find the areas of two triangles and three rectangles.

In this triangular prism, the base is one triangle. If the area of the base is 7.75, we can assume that that holds true for both bases, and multiply 7.75 by 2 in order to find the area of both triangles.

Now find the area of each of the three rectangles by multiplying their individual heights and bases by each other. You should get 38, 47.5, and 38 as the areas of the rectangles.

Now add all the individual area's together. (They're bolded for clarity).
