The consecutive positive integers would be: x and (x+1),
We would have to solve the following equation to find these numbers:
x(x+1)-[x+(x+1)]=29
x²+x-2x-1=29
x²-x-30=0
x=[1⁺₋√(1+120)]/2
x=(1⁺₋11)/2
We have two possible solutions:
x₁=(1-11)/2=-5 then: (x+1)=-5+1=-4 This is not the solution.
x₂=(1+11)/2=6 then: (x+1)=6+1=7 This solution is right.
Answer: the numbers would be 6 and 7.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the surface area of a prism is
A = 2 (wh + wl + lh)
where A is the surface area
w is the width
l is the length
h is the height
w = 8 x 2 = 16
l = 6 x 2 = 12
h = 4 x 2 = 8
substitute to the given formula
A = 2 ( (16 x 12) + ( 16 x 8 ) + ( 12 x 8) )
A = 832 sq cm is the surface area of the new rectangular prism
