12 -1/9d = 17
Subtract 12 from both sides
-1/9d = 5
Multiply both sides by -9:
D = -45
The answer is b. d = -45

Answer:
Two possible lengths for the legs A and B are:
B = 1cm
A = 14.97cm
Or:
B = 9cm
A = 12cm
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle rectangle, Pythagorean's theorem says that the sum of the squares of the cathetus is equal to the hypotenuse squared.
Then if the two legs of the triangle are A and B, and the hypotenuse is H, we have:
A^2 + B^2 = H^2
If we know that H = 15cm, then:
A^2 + B^2 = (15cm)^2
Now, let's isolate one of the legs:
A = √( (15cm)^2 - B^2)
Now we can just input different values of B there, and then solve the value for the other leg.
Then if we have:
B = 1cm
A = √( (15cm)^2 - (1cm)^2) = 14.97
Then we could have:
B = 1cm
A = 14.97cm
Now let's try with another value of B:
if B = 9cm, then:
A = √( (15cm)^2 - (9cm)^2) = 12 cm
Then we could have:
B = 9cm
A = 12cm
So we just found two possible lengths for the two legs of the triangle.
The top and bottom faces are 3 inches by 3 inches.
Area = 3 in. * 3 in. * 2 = 18 in.^2
The front, back, right, and left faces are 3 in. by 6 in.
Area = 3 in. * 6 in. * 4 = 72 in.^2
Total surface area = 18 in.^2 + 72 in.^2 = 90 in.^2
Answer: B. 90 square inches
