The phrase which describes the variable expression 8n is A. the product of 8 and n.
You get a product when you multiply, the quotient is when you divide, the difference is when you subtract, and sum when you add.
For this case, what you should do is calculate the surface area of the figure.
We have then:
Triangles:
A1 = (1/2) * (7) * (12)
A1 = 42 in ^ 2
Rectangles:
A2 = (1) * (12.5)
A2 = 12.5 in ^ 2
A3 = (1) * (7)
A3 = 7 in ^ 2
Finally, the total surface area is:
A = 2A1 + 2A2 + A3
Substituting values:
A = 2 (42) + 2 (12.5) + (7)
A = 84 + 25 + 7
A = 116 in ^ 2
Answer:
the amount of cardboard needed to make a box for a single slice of pizza is:
A = 116 in ^ 2
First substitute, then distribute, then add, then simply
