Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of the triangular prism consists of three rectangles and two triangles.
Rectangle One - 5 x 12 = 60 cm^2
Rectangle Two - 4 x 12 = 48 cm^2
Rectangle Three - 3 x 12 = 36 cm^2
Triangles - 2 x 1/2 x 3 x 4 = 12 cm^2
Thus, the total surface area of the solid is
Answer:
x = - 3 is extraneous
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 1 = x ( add 1 to both sides )
= x + 1 ( square both sides )
x + 7 = (x + 1)² ← distribute right side
x + 7 = x² + 2x + 1 ( subtract x + 7 from both sides )
0 = x² + x - 6 ← in standard form
0 = (x + 3)(x - 2) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
As a check
Substitute these values into the equation and if both sides are equal then they are the solutions.
x = - 3 : - 1 =
- 1 = 2 - 1 = 1 ≠ - 3
x = 2 : - 1 =
- 1 = 3 - 1 = 2
x = 2 is a solution and x = - 3 is extraneous
