Given:
The volume of the rectangular prism is

,
the height is h=(b+3)
1. The volume of a rectangular prism is (base area)*height
also, notice that the volume is a third degree polynomial, the height is a 1st degree polynomial, so the base area must be a 2nd degree polynomial, whose coefficients we don't know yet.
Let this quadratic polynomial be
2

notice that

is the product of the largest 2 terms:

and b, so m must be 1
also, notice that 12 is the product of the constants, k and 3
so k*3=12, this means k=4
3
we write the above equality again:


=

4
now compare the coefficient with the left side:

8=n+3
n=5
substituting n=5:
the base area is

Answer:
Answer:
The area of the 3d figure
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of the one of triangle is 8.7
and the reactangle is 5 x 7 = 35
and the big one is 10 x 7 = 70
so 8.7 + 8.7 + 35 + 35 + 70 = 157.4
