The formula for the surface area of a right rectangular prism is a  2lw  2hw  2lh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height, respectively. which term of this formula is not dependent on the height?

The term 2lw is independent of the height

Step-by-step explanation:

This formula is usually obtained reasoning like this: the rectangular prism has 6 faces, thus the surface area is the sum of the areas of these faces.

2 faces are l×w rectangles, so their area is lw+lw=2lw. Note that we are not using the height to compute the area, then this is the independent term.

The 4 remaining rectangles involve the height as one of their dimensions, so their areas (2hw+2lh) depend on the height.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
