20² = (8 + 8)² + x²
x = 12
-
the missing side has a value of 12, found using pythagorean theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the cuboid are 5 cm, 7 cm and 9 cm.
The formula for the surface area of the cuboid is as follows :

We have,
b = 9 cm, l = 7 cm and h = 5 cm
So,

Jamie forgets to multiply 143 by 2 as the formula for surface area contains 2 as well.
It will quarter the result. (I think so)
