The correct answer is 1460
First one (on the left) is 2) associative property because we are regrouping terms or re-associating them based on the parenthesis. Think of the parenthesis like a tent or a house that separates off the stuff outside. First 27 and 36 are grouped, then we move the parenthesis so that 52 and 27 are grouped now.
Second one (on the right) is 1) commutative. The commutative multiplication property says we can multiply two numbers in any order. For example, 4*9 = 36 and 9*4 = 36. The 4 and 9 swap places. In this problem, the 3 and 4x swap places. The use of parenthesis isn't necessary, though it is sometimes used to imply multiplication.
Yes because the median and range are not a function of the totality of the sample set, the median is just value that is halfway of the set and the range is the difference of the highest and lowest value. As long as the lowest and highest value and the halfway value are the same in each set, the median and range will be equal no matter what the other values of the set are.
C. The sun of the areas of its exterior surfaces is the correct answer.
