<h3>Answer:  40 inches</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

  • x = first piece
  • 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
  • 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first

x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.

Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again

x+2x+5x = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

The first piece is 8 inches long.

2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)

The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40

--------

Summary:

first = 8 inches

second = 16 inches

third = 40 inches

Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer

The picture shown is a unfolded rectangular prism.

The formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism is:

A = 2(WL+HL+HW)

(W = width, L = Length, H= Height)

So we would need to determine the Height, Length, and Width first, and then plug them into the formula and solve for the area.

In this case:
The height is: 4 cm 
The length is: 10.5 cm
The width is: 6.4 cm

Now that we have determined the height, length, and width, we simply plug them into the formula I showed earlier. 

In this case the answer would be 269.6.

Okay so first you want to simplify the given equation  (7x+3y)(7x-3y)

in order to do this you multiply the first number of the first equation (7x) with the first number of the second equation (7x) this gives you 49x^2

Now you want to multiply the second number of the first equation (3y) by the second number of the second equation (-3y) this gives you -9y^2

Its as easy as pie!
