*see attachment for the diagram of the triangular prism box

Answer:

528.8 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of triangular prism = 2(BA) + P*H

Area of triangular base (BA) = ½*b*h

b = 24.5 in.

h = 12 in.

BA = ½*24.5*12 = 147 in.²

Perimeter of triangular base = 24.5 + 17.1 + 17.1 = 58.7 in.

Height of prism = 4 in.

Plug in the values into the surface area formula:

Surface area of prism = 2(147) + 58.7*4

= 294 + 234.8

= 528.8 in.²

Answer:

y=30x+55

Step-by-step explanation:

$55 is constant because for each trip he will take $55 dollars so that gives you your y-intercept and m=$30 and x is the amount of hours worked. every time x increases he will be making more money

2x + 12 = 1/3 (7/3x+4/3)

gladu [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 12 = 1/3 (7/3x+4/3)

$2x+12=\frac{1}{3}*\frac{7x}{3}+\frac{1}{3}*\frac{4}{3}\\\\2x+12=\frac{7x}{9}+\frac{4}{9}\\\\2x-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-12\\\\\frac{2x*9}{1*9}-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-\frac{12*9}{1*9}\\\\\frac{18x}{9}-\frac{7x}{9}=\frac{4}{9}-\frac{108}{9}\\\\\frac{18x-7x}{9}=\frac{4-108}{9}\\\\\frac{11x}{9}=\frac{-104}{9}\\\\\\x=\frac{-104*9}{11*9}=\frac{-104}{11}=-9\frac{5}{11}$
