y = 4
first note that the right side simplifies to 12, equation can be written
= 12 ( multiply both sides by 0.8 )
2y + 1.6 = 9.6 ( subtract 1.6 from both sides )
2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 4

Consider, LHS

We know,

We know,

So, using this identity, we get

can be rewritten as

<h2>Hence,</h2>


I got -648 for the product
3(24) + 2(24) + 5.39(24) = 72 + 48 + 129.36 = 249.36 ~ 249m^2
<span>Total Surface Area: </span>
<span>(add to the above) </span>
<span>2(1/2)(3)(2) = 6m^2 (area of the two triangles) </span>
<span>6 + 149 = 155m^2 </span>
