To subtract 3 3/8 from 5 1/2,by turning into fractions[(5x2)+1]/2 = 11/2[(3x8)+3]/8 = 27/8 11/2 - 27/8To subtract fractions, your denominator needs to have the same number. so multiply it by 4 44/8 - 27/8 = (44-27)/8 = 17/8.17 / 8 pounds or 2 and 1/8 because 17 / 8 = 2 remainder 1. In terms of weight that is 2.125 pounds.

Find the surface area and volume of the prism.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

SA: 456

V: 408

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of this prism, you first need to find the area of the triangular base. The base has dimensions 6 by 8, and since it's a triangle, the area of the base is 6*8/2=24. Multiplying this by the length of the prism, you get a volume of 24*17=408. For the surface area, you need to find and add together the areas of all of the surfaces. We have already determined that the area of the two triangular bases are 24. The rectangle formed by the leg with length 6 has area 6*17=102, the one with length 8 has area 136, and the hypotenuse has area 170. Adding all of this together, you get a surface area of 24+24+102+136+170=456 square centimeters. Hope this helps!
