Remark
A cube has six sides, all of them equal. The formula for 1 side is s^2. The formula for all six = 6s^2.
Step One
Find the surface area of the larger cube.
Area = 6 *s^2
s = 15
Area = 6 *15^2
Area = 6 * 225
Area = 1350
Step Two
Find the area of the smaller cube
Area = 6s^2
Area = 6 * 12^2
Area = 6 * 144
Area = 864
Step Three
Find the difference
Area1 - Area2 = difference
1350 - 864 = 486
The difference is area = 486 units^2 <<<<< Answer
There is a slightly shorter way. Take out the common factor of 6
Difference = 6 * (15^2 - 12^2)
Difference = 6 * (225 - 144)
Difference = 6 * (81)
Difference = 486
Answer:
The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:
(1)
Where:
- Area.
- Base.
- Height.
The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:
Base


Height


Then, the area of the parallelogram is:


The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
Simplified: 3x+7y+(-2y)+9
Coefficient of y: 5
Constant: 3 and 6
The surface area is 252 m
