There are 6 surfaces on a rectangular prism . 3 pairs of equal area.

Surface area  2wl + 2hw + 2 hl     where h = height, w = width,  l = length.

So inserting the given values:-

442 = 2*w*11 + 2 *8* w + 2*8*11

442 = 22w  + 16w + 176

38w =  442-176 = 266

w =  7

width = 7 feet

Formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac (a-lenght,b-width,c-height).
We need to calculate b (width).
S=442 ft^2
a=11 ft
c=8ft
------------------
b=?

S=2ab + 2bc + 2ac
S=2b(a+c) + 2ac
2b(a+c)=S - 2ac
b=(S - 2ac)/(2(a+c))
b=(442 - 2×11×8)/(2×(11+8))
b=(442 - 176)/(2×19)
b=266/38
b=7 ft

The table of ordered pairs (x,y) gives an exponential function.
Andreyy89

The equation for the exponential function containing the points (0, 8) and (1, 32) is y = 8(4)ˣ

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable for its value while a dependent variable is a variable that depends on other variable.

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value and b is the multiplication factor.

At point (0, 8):

8 = ab⁰

a = 8

At point (1, 32):

32 = 8b

b = 4

The equation for the exponential function containing the points (0, 8) and (1, 32) is y = 8(4)ˣ
