Question

The total surface area of a cuboid is 112cm^2. find the value of x. values given: 10cm and 2cm.

Answer 1

x= 5.6

Explanation:

we will need to put the information we currently have into an equation:

10•2•x= 112

then multiply 10•2 which equals 20...then the equation wil turn out like this:

20•x=112

now you will isolate the x... but how?? dividing 20 by itslef.. cancelling it out, and if you do one thing to the other side of the equation, you have to do it to the other...

20/20•x=112/20

you will end up with x= 122/20

you can use a calculator for this step, but to practice long division... (check the screen shot thingie)

hope this helped !! ^^
