Here are the areas of the 12 rectangular surfaces that make up the surface area of the podium:
7.5 x 1.5 = 11.25 square feet (Bottom)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Bottom Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Right/Left Flat)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Top Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Top Front/Back)
2.5 x 1.5 = 3.75 square feet (Top)
7.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 22.5 (Bottom Front and Back)
The area of all these surfaces is 61.5 square feet.
Answer:a
Step-by-step explanation:
To factor a difference of squares, the following steps are undertaken: Check if the terms have the greatest common factor (GCF) and factor it out. Remember to include the GCF in your final answer. Determine the numbers that will produce the same results and apply the formula: a2– b2 = (a + b) (a – b) or (a – b) (a + b)
