We know that
we need to calculate the surface area including only one base

surface area=area of the base+perimeter of the base*height

area of the base=37*21----> 777 cm
²

perimeter of the base=2*[37+21]----> 116 cm

height of the prism=30 cm
surface area=777+116*30-----> 4257 cm²

the answer is
4257 cm²

COMPLETING THE SQUARE 2x^2 -4x+3=9 2. QUADRATIC FORMULA 2x^2+4x=0
Solution 1
X = 3 and x = -1 are the answers for both. They are exactly the same equation. 

FOR COMPLETING THE SQUARE
Make in terms of ()^2 which you can do by adding numbers to both sides. Eventually it will look like this:
(2x - 1)^2 - 7 = 0
Add to both sides, take a square root and then solve. 

USE THE QUADRATIC FORMULA
Be sure to solve for zero and be aware of negatives when plugging in.

Question
Tripping ran 4.8 times as many laps as Tony.If Tony ran3.7 laps how many laps did tripping run
Solution 1
This is a simple multiplication question. 
 
4.8 x 3.7=17.76

Tripping ran 17.76 laps.

Check: 17/76/4.8=3.7
Solution 2
You simply multiply 4.8 and 3.7 because if you notice the word "times," it explains you that you need to do multiplication.


4.8*3.7 = 17.76


So, Tripping ran 17.76 laps.

Question
What logarithmic equation has the same solution as x-4=2^3
Solution 1

What logarithmic equation has the same solution as x-4=2^3

Solution:

x-4=2³

x-4=2*2*2

x-4=8

TO solve for x, Let us add 4 on both sides

x-4+4=8+4

x+0=12

So, x=12

But, x=12 is not a logarithmic equation and there are no options

So, an equation like, x=㏒  10^{12}

As log has base 10,

So, x=㏒  10^{12}  =12

So, logarithmic equation like x=log  10^{12}  has same solution as x-4=2³

Solution 2

Answer:

log (x+2)+log\,2=log\,28 is required lograthmic equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Given equation, x - 4 = 2³

To find: Logarithmic function whose solution is same as given equation.

First we find the solution of given Equation.

consider,

x - 4 = 2³

x - 4 = 8        ( ∵ 2³ = 2×2×2 = 8 )

x = 8 + 4       ( Transposing 4 to RHS )

x = 12

Now we find the logarithmic equation whose solution is also x = 12.

( There exist many such equations )

Lets say one of them is,

log (x+2)+log\,2=log\,28

Now we find its solution to check if it is same or not.

log\,((x+2)\times2)=log\,28   (using lograthmic rule,log\,m\times n=log\,m+log\,n)

⇒ 2 × ( x + 2 ) = 28  (using lograthmic rule, log_{a}\,x=log_{a}\,y \implies x=y )

⇒ 2x + 4 = 28

⇒ 2x = 28 - 4     (transposing 4 to RHS)

⇒ 2x = 24          (transposing 2 to RHS)

x=\frac{24}{2}

⇒ x = 12

Therefore, log (x+2)+log\,2=log\,28 is required lograthmic equation.
