Answer:
254 yds²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 faces of the prism we need to calculate the area of for a rectangular prism.
The base and top of the prism measure 9x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 63 yds² (9 x 7 = 63)
The sides of the prism measure 4x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 28 yds² (4 x 7 = 28)
The front and back face of the prism measure 9x4 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 36 yds² (9 x 4 = 36)
The total surface area is
2(63) + 2(28) + 2(36) = 254 yds²
Letters used to represent values or unknown quantities that
can change or vary. One example of an algebraic expression
is 3x – 4. Notice the variable,
Answer:
x is the reciprocal of the difference of a and b.
Step-by-step explanation:
ax=bx+1
Subtract by bx on both sides
ax-bx=1
x(a-b)=1
x= 1/(a-b)
