Let's assume a the age of Joe
b the age of James
a=b+10 (1)
2*(a+8)=3(b+8) (2)
==> 2*(b+10+8)=3b+24
==>2b+36=3b+24
==>b=12
==>a=12+10=22
Joe is 22 years's old
James is 12 years's old.
6% of 36,040 is 2162.4
36,040-2,162.4=33,877.6
12 is not a perfect square, but 4, a factor of 12, is a perfect square. Thus, separate the problem
sqrt(12) into factors as follows:
sqrt(12) = sqrt(4)*sqrt(2) = 2*sqrt(2) (answer)
Answer:
B. 3 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for surface area is:
2lw+2lh+2wh
Box F's surface area is just plugging in those variables
2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)+2(3)(3)=54
Box J's surface area is the same way
2(2)(4.5)+2(2)(3)+2(4.5)(3)=57
The difference is 57-54=3
The answer is B. 3 square ft
