Which is true about the volume or surface area of these prisms?

the surface area of a is greater than the surface area of b.

the surface area of b is greater than the surface area of a.

the volume of a is greater than the volume of b.

the volume of b is greater than the volume of a.

Your answer is the second option: The surface area of B is greater than the surface area of A.

To find the surface area, I found the area of the three sides shown and added them together, and then multiplied the answer by 2, so:

B:
8 × 2 = 16
8 × 10 = 80
10 × 2 = 20
+
= 116
116 × 2 = 232 cm²

A:
5 × 8 = 40
5 × 4 = 20
8 × 4 = 32
+
= 92
92 × 2 = 184 cm²

So therefore B > A because 232 > 184

I hope this helps!

So, we have a problem here. Our equation is x-32=y+13^2

First, we want to use exponents on the right side. 13^2=169

Now we have a simplified equation of: x-32=y+169

Now, add 32 to both sides: x=y+201

Since there is no given value for y, we have our answer.

x=y+201
