Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of objects with flat surfaces like this is simply the area of each surface added together, so let's get to work.
Both have 6 faces, so we will be adding six values together for each.
Container A:
Hopefully you can imagine the six different faces. It's kinda like a cereal box.
The front and back of a cereal box have the same area, as do the two sides and the top and bottom, so that makes it a little easier.
Front and Back: 28 * 36 = 1008
Sides: 36*6 = 216
Top and Bottom: 6*28 = 168
Let me know if you don't understand how I did any of that. Anyway, since there is a matching face for each we add them all together twice.
1008*2 + 216*2 + 168*2 = 2784 in^2
Container B has a similar setup, I won't write out everything like I did unless you want me to work it out with you.
2(16*12+16*22+22*12) = 1616 in^2
So since Container A has a surface area of 2784 and Container B has a surface area of 1616 it's obvious container A has a larger surface area
1: given 2: distributive property 3: multiplication property of equality 4: addition property of equality 5: division property of equality
So 4x^2+-2x+-6 then multiply by 5 would be the Area of the entire rectangle using the formula A=bh
You'll get 4x^2 − 2x − 6
The first answer is figure B
the second is figure A because all angles are equal
the third is Hex regular
the 4th is octagon not regular
the 5th is hex regular
merry christmas my apologize for being to vague with my last answer
