First, make all the denominators same.
Then calculate.
Hopefully this helps :D
The total area is:
A = Ab + Al
Where,
Ab: base area
Al: lateral area
We have then:
For the base area:
Ab = (2) * (2)
Ab = 4 units ^ 2
For the lateral area:
Al = (4) * (1/2) * (2) * (root ((1) ^ 2 + (3) ^ 2))
Al = (4) * (root (1 + 9))
Al = 4raiz (10) units ^ 2
Total area:
A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
Answer:
A = 4 + 4raiz (10)
That's a 33% increase.
I calculated this using the formula:
Where n = the new value (16 in your question), o = the old value (12 in your question) and the result is outputted as a percent increase. You can check that this is correct by finding 33% of 12, adding the result to 12, and checking that the result equals your "new" number.
Note that 33% is only an approximation as your question requires a number rounded to the nearest whole.
A. x = -1; x = 3
B. x = 5; x = -4
C. x = -1; x = 4
D. x = -6; x = 4
