Increase : 29.96
Decrease: 26.04
The answer is the last option (Option D), which is:
D. 25
The explanation is shown below:
1. You have that:
(a ± b)^2=a^2 <span>± 2ab + b^2
2. The expression given in the problem is:
</span><span>x^2-10x+n
Where x^2=a and 2ab=10x
2b=10
b=10/2
b=5
3. Therefore, you have:
b^2=5
b^2=25
b^2=n
n=25</span>
Answer:
108 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral surface area of a pyramid is given as
LSA= 1/2×perimeter of the base×slant height
base is hexagon with side 3 cm , therefore, perimeter of the base
=6×3=18 cm
slant height = 12 cm
thus, LSA = 1/2×18×12 = 108 cm^2
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis
x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60
Combine like terms
x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60
Subtract 60 from both sides
x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0
Factor the equation
(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0
x= -12 and -4
