Pls help me ASAP!! what is the surface area of this design? a) 288in b) 256in c) 96in d) 160in

b) 256 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

8x5x2 = 80   (top & bottom)

8x5x2 = 80    (front & back)

8x8x2 = 128    (gross area of 2 sides)

4x4x2 =32      (delete this for side cutouts) Guessing the cutoff dimension on

                                                                       left side is 4m inch.

80+80+128-32 = 256 inches

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).
