Help? cant seem to figure this out. Appreciate it!

327 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite faces of a cuboid are congruent , front and back, top and bottom, the two side faces, then

SA = 2(9.5 × 8) + 2(5 × 8) + 2(9.5 × 5)

     = (2 ×76) + (2 × 40) + (2 × 47.5)

     = 152 + 80 + 95

     = 327 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

SA = 2B + LA         B = area of base        LA = lateral area

B = area of the rectangle with length of 9.5 and width of 5

  = 9.5(5) = 47.5

LA = perimeter of base times the height

    = [2(9.5) + 2(5)] (8)

    = (19 + 10)(8)

    = 29(8)

    = 232

SA = SA = 2B + LA  = 2(47.5) + 232

     = 95 + 232

     = 327 sq cm

company a

step-by-step explanation:

using the linear regression models , it is found that company a   pays about $14 more. but using the same regression (linear) company b pays about $10 more.

so company a pays more than b
