Why is the surface area of a triangular prism measured in square units rather than in cubic units? Surface area measures the are

a of the faces. Area is a -dimensional measurement, so it is measured in square units.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a given figure is a 2 dimensional measurement which describes the amount of space occupied by the figure, while volume of the figure describes its capacity in a 3 dimensional measurement.

The surface area of a triangular prism is the sum of the areas of all its surfaces. Since the surface area considers the areas of the figure not volume, therefore the surface area of the triangular prism is measured in square units not cubic units.

What are two step equations
miskamm [114]
2 step equations are equations that require 2 steps to solve it.

For example, 2x + 5 = 3x + 6

To solve for x, we must isolate it.

First subtract 2x on both sides, which is ONE step.

2x + 5 = 3x + 6
-2x         -2x

5 = x + 6

The we must subtract 6 from both sides of the equation, which makes is the second step.

5 = x + 6
-6       -6

-1 = x 

-1 would be the answer and we only used 2 steps to solve it.

Simplify. 5 - 2(x - 3)
V125BC [204]
To solve this, we simply need to remember our rules about order of operations. They tell us that first, we should distribute the 2 with the rest of the parentheses.

5-2(x-3)
5-2x+6

Next, we should combine our like-terms.

5-2x+6
11-2x

Seeing as we do not know the value of the variable, the simplest form of the expression is 11-2x.

Greg’s sister Ava is 4 years older than him. If the sum of Greg’s age and 2 times Ava’s age is 35, How old is Ava?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation: g+(G+4)(2)=35

Parentheses: g+2(G+4)=35

Distributive property: g+2g+8=35

Combine like terms: 3g+8=35

Subtractive property: 3g=27

Division property: g=9

Greg is 9. Since Ava is 4 years older you add 4 to find her age. Ava is 13. You take Ava’s age times 2 ( equals 26) then add Greg’s age (equals 35). And it should equal 35.
