Use the formula SA=a+1/2ps
a=area of the base
p= perimeter of the base
s= slant height
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
You have the following equation given in the problem above:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
</span> When you solve for bx, you have:
<span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx-10=16
-2bx=26
bx=26/-2
bx=-13
When you solve for b, you obtain:
</span><span>-2(bx - 5) = 16
-2bx=26
b=-(26/2x)
When yoo solve for x:
</span>2bx=26
x=-(26/2b)<span>
</span>
