surface area (S) of a right rectangular solid is:
S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)
where:
L = length
W = width
H = height
-----
you have:
L = 7
W = a
H = 4
-----
formula becomes:
S = 2*7*a + 2*7*4 + 2*a*4
simplify:
S = 14*a + 56 + 8*a
combine like terms:
S = 22*a + 56
-----
answer is:
S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)
-----
to prove, substitute any value for a in equation 2:
let a = 15
S = 22*a + 56 (equation 2)
S = 22*15 + 56
S = 330 + 56
S = 386
-----
since a = 15, then W = 15 because W = a
go back to equation 1 and substitute 15 for W:
S = 2*L*W + 2*L*H + 2*W*H (equation 1)
where:
L = length
W = width
H = height
-----
you have:
L = 7
W = 15
H = 4
-----
equation 1 becomes:
S = 2*7*15 + 2*7*4 + 2*15*4
perform indicated operations:
S = 210 + 56 + 120
S = 386
-----
surface area is the same using both equations so:
equations are good.
formula for surface area of right rectangle in terms of a is:
S = 22*a + 56

Answer:
B. -8
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
W= 2.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: y = -1/2 x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 2y= 6 subtract x from both sides
-x -x
2y = 6 - x Divide both sides by 2
y = 3 - 1/2x or y = -1/2x + 3
