Which expression represents the surface area?
ohaa [14]

Answer:

2x + 1/2 sq. ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area = 2(lw+wh+lh)

Given

length l = x ft

width w = 1/2 ft

height h = 1/2ft

Substitute

Surface area = 2(x(1/2)+(1/2)(1/2)+x(1/2))

Surface area = 2(x/2+1/4+x/2)

Surface area = 2(2x/2 + 1/4)

Surface area = 2(x + 1/4)

Surface area = 2x + 2/4

Surface area = 2x + 1/2 sq. ft
