Answer:

Our constant is the number 12 (as there is to variable to change its meaning)

The coefficient of our second term is 8 (our number preceding the variable denoting how many times this variable will be taken)

There are 4 terms in the expression (in algebra, all variables and numbers are considered to be terms)

The terms we have then are: 5m, -8n, 2p, and -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Any constant is a number that is not attached to a variable

A number attached to a variable is called the coefficient

All numbers and variables within an algebraic expression are called terms.

Each term in an algebraic expression can be broken down or isolated. In these cases, we must ensure to include any signs.

What is the lateral area of a right cylinder if the radius of the base is 12 mm and the altitude of the cylinder is 5 times the

lakkis [162]

The lateral area of a cylinder is given by:
Area=πrl+2πr^2
radius,r=12 mm
length,l=5*12=60mm
therefore the lateral area will be:
Area=π*12*60
Area=2,261.95 mm^2
The area of the bases will be:
A=2*π*12^2=904.78 mm^s
The lateral area will be:
2,261.95+904.78
=3,166.73
=3167 mm^2
