y = 8
using the ' gradient formula' m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
with (x₁, y₁) = (3, 3), (x₂, y₂) = (- 5, y) and m = - 
(y - 3)/( - 5 - 3) = - 
(y - 3)/(-8) = - 
multiply both sides by - 8 to eliminate fractions
y - 3 = 5
add 3 to both sides
y = 5 + 3 =8
L = 15
w = 12
h = 8
Surface Area = 2(lw + wh + lh)
S.A. = 2(15*12 + 12*8 + 15*8)
S.A. = 2(180 + 96 + 120)
S.A. = 2(396)
S.A. = 792 cm^2
Answer:
they are wrong because 3.59 is less than 3.6 . 3.6 is the same as 3.60 only add the 0 and it will not change the value . yes 59 is more than 6 but the student did not realize you can put a place holder to determine the comparison.
