The answer is x equals 24
you set up a proportion new over old
so for red cars 40 over 5
since we don’t know the new for blue cars we’ll use x
so x over 3
we then make them equal to each other
40 x
—- = —-
5 3
cross multiply, then we get
120=5x
isolate the x by dividing 5 from both sides to get 24
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
A 3D figure is given to us and we need to find the Total Surface area of the 3D figure . So ,
From the cuboid we can see that there are 5 squares in one row on the front face . And there are two rows. So the number of squares on the front face will be 5*2 = 10 .
We know the area of square as ,
Hence the area of 10 squares will be 10x² , where x is the side length of each square. Similarly there are 10 squares at the back . Hence their area will be 10x² .
Also there are in total 12 squares sideways 6 on each sides . So their surface area will be 12x² . Hence the total surface area in terms of side of square will be ,
Now let's find out the TSA in terms of side . So here the lenght of the cuboid is equal to the sum of one of the sides of 5 squares .


Hence the TSA of cuboid in terms of lenght and breadth is :-

To estimate 2641 x 9 is that you round each number. so it would be 2641 to 2640 and the 9 would round to 10. 2640 x 10
The total area painted was 480 inches. 4 cubed is 64, 8 cubed 512. 512 +64= 576. Then you subtract two sides of the 4 inch square because the bottom is not painted and one side is pushed against the 8 inch cube. That means 576-32= 544. Then you subtract the bottom of the 8 inch cube, which means 544-64= 480.
