A group of mathematical symbols that express a relationship or that are used to solve a problem is a FORMULA
In every case, you're finding the surface area of a rectangular prism. That area is the sum of the areas of the 6 rectangular faces. Since opposite faces have the same area, the formula can be written
... S = 2(LW +WH +HL)
The number of multiplications can be reduced if you rearrange the formula to
... S = 2(LW +H(L +W))
where L, W, and H are the length, width, and height of the prism. (It does not matter which dimension gets what name, as long as you use the same number for the same variable in the formula.)
When you're evaluating this formula over and over for diffferent sets of numbers, it is convenient to let a calculator or spreadsheet program do it for you.
1. S = 2((5 cm)(5 cm) +(5 cm)(5 cm +5 cm)) = 2(25 cm² +(5 cm)(10 cm))
... = 2(25 cm² + 50 cm²) = 150 cm²
2. S = 2(12·6 + 2(12+6)) mm² = 2(72 +36) mm² = 216 mm²
3. S = 2(11·6 + 4(11 +6)) ft² = 2·134 ft² = 264 ft²
4. S = 2(10·4 +3(10 +4)) in² = 164 in²
If you are travelling at 65 mph, you have to think of it as if you are moving at a constant speed. By dividing 65 by 60, you are calculating how many miles you are moving each minute. In doing so, you can calculate that you are moving at 1.083333 miles each minute. That's approximately 5720 feet per minute. (This is calculated by multiplying 1.083333 by 5280 (the number of feet in a mile)). 5720 x 22 minutes, you will have traveled 125,840 feet.
Hope this helps!
Solve out
x^2 + 64 = 0
x^2 = -64 ( we are going to use imaginary numbers to solve)
x =
x = 8i, -8i final answers
