343 is a cube root of 7. Its surface area is 7
Answer:
96cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide it into two rectangles: 7x8 and 10x(12-8), arriving at the solution of 7cm*8cm + 10cm*4cm = 56cm^2 + 40cm^2 = 96cm^2
We can also divide it into two rectangles: 12x7 + (12-8)x(10-7), arriving at 12cm*7cm + 4cm*3cm = 84cm^2 + 12cm^2 = 96cm^2
We could also divide it to one big rectangle and one "negative" rectangle of 10x12 and -8x(10-7), arriving at 10cm*12cm - 8cm*3cm = 120cm^2 - 24cm^2 = 96cm^2
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)
