Answer:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Michelle checked out 20% of her borrowed books were fictions does not mean Michael had more books. For example, Michelle could have borrowed 100 books, which would result into her borrowing 20 fiction books while Michael could have borrowed just 1 fiction book with a 100% of his borrowed books being a fiction book.

In other words, percentage is just the simplied ratio of something. Percentage cannot account for the original value and its original value cannot be assumed that it is small just because the percentage is small.

Need Explanation For This Asap! &lt;3<br> 528 cm2<br> 538 cm2 <br> 558 cm2
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

528 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of this prism comprises:

  • 2 congruent triangles (the bases of the prism)
  • 2 congruent rectangles (rectangle 1 and 2) - since the triangle has 2 sides of equal length
  • 1 rectangle (rectangle 3)

Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height

                             = 1/2 × 16 × 6

                             = 48 cm²

Area of rectangle 1 / 2 = width × length

                                     = 10 × 12

                                     = 120 cm²

Area of rectangle 3 = width × length

                                = 16 × 12

                                = 192 cm²

Total Surface Area = 2 triangles + 2 rectangles + rectangle 3

                                = (2 × 48) + (2 × 120) + 192

                                = 96 + 240 + 192

                                = 528 cm²
