Answer:
The total surface area is: 468 in^2 which agrees with answer a)
Step-by-step explanation:
The three lateral faces of the prism are rectangles, and the sums of their areas give:
12 * 10 + 9 * 10 + 15 * 10 = 360 in^2
The area of each triangular base (notice it is a right triangle) is given by:
9 * 12 / 2 = 54 in^2, so we add TWO of these to the three rectangular faces:
Total surface = 360 in^2 + 2 * 54 in^2 = 468 in^2
So here we're dealing with equivalent fractions.
It's really simple to find the answer, so I'll try to explain the best I can.
2 dogs / 5 cats is really just 2/5.
If we want to find an equivalent fraction, we have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Currently the number of cats is 5, and we need it to be 140. What we need to do is find the number it has to be multiplied by to equal 140, which is 140 divided by 5. 140 divided by 5 is 28, so 5 x 28 = 140!
We need to multiply the denominator (5) by 28, so that we can get 140. What we have now is ?/140.
Like I said, to find an equivalent fraction, we need to multiply the numerator by the same number as we did the denominator, which is 28!
2 x 28 = 56.
So 2/5 is the same as 56/140.
The answer is D) 56 Dogs/140 Cats.
Hope this helps!

3 3/8 = 27/8
So (27/8)/(9/1)
(27)(1)/ (8)(9)
The answer is 27/72 or 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3y + x = 12
When y = 3, we have 3(3) + x = 12.
=> 9 + x = 12, x = 3.
The volume of the first cube is (5h^2)^3, while the volume of the second cube is (3k)^3, so their total volume is (5h^2)^3 + (3k)^3. We can use the special formula for factoring a sum of two cubes:
x^3 + y^3 = (x + y)(x^2 - xy + y^2)
(5h^2)^3 + (3k)^3 = (5h^2 + 3k)((5h^2)^2 - (5h^2)(3k) + (3k)^2)
= (5h^2 + 3k)(25h^4 - 15(h^2)(k) + 9k^2)
This is the second of the given choices.
