If you expand out the brackets you get this,

(4+5i)(a+2i) = 4a + (5a)i + 8i - 10

The -10 comes from 5i * 2i.
Squaring i becomes -1.

Let's group the real stuff together,
and imaginary separately,

(4a - 10) + (5a + 8)i

For this to be purely imaginary,
the real part needs to be zero.

Therefore 4a - 10 = 0

Solve for a.

The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism with a square base is SA=2s2+4shSA=2s2+4sh. What is the surface area of
Ivanshal [37]
This is the concept of algebra, given that the formula for the surface area of the prism is modeled by the expression SA=2s²+4sh , the surface area of the prism when s=3 and h=5 will be found by substituting the values in our expression as follows;
SA=2(3)²+4×3×5
SA=2(9)+60
SA=18+60
SA=78 sq. units
The answer is 78 sq. units
