1. the length, width, and height of a rectangular prism can be represented by the expressions (r + 3),
(x + 7) and (x - 1). write an expression to represent the surface area of the prism.

6x² + 36x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

2 faces  (x + 3) by (x + 7), area of both these faces 2(x+3)*(x + 7)

2 faces  (x + 3) by (x - 1), area of both these faces 2(x+3)*(x - 1)

2 faces  (x -1 ) by (x + 7), area of both these faces 2(x-1)*(x + 7)

Whole surface area is

2(x+3)*(x + 7) + 2(x+3)*(x - 1) + 2(x-1)*(x + 7) =

=2(x² + 3x +7x +21) + 2(x² +3x -x - 3) + 2(x² - x +7x -7)=

=2x² + 20x +42 + 2x² + 4x - 6 + 2x² + 12x -14 =

= 6x² + 36x + 22

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
