Check the picture below.
so the <u>triangular prism</u> is really 3 rectangles and two triangles stacked up to each other at the edges, so if we simply get the area of each figure individually and sum them up, that's the area of the prism.
let's notice, the triangles have a base of 2.4 and a height/altitude of 1.

For this case, from the diagram we can conclude the following results according to the surveys:
For Dogs:
Dogs = 24 + 31 = 55
No dogs = 10
Total = 65
For the cats:
Cats = 10 + 31 = 41
No cats = 24
Total = 65
Answer:
C) x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Original equation:
subtract 12 from both sides:
square both sides:
subtract 1 from both sides:
divide both sides by -4:
