PLZZZ HELPP MEEE .!.!.! The dimensions of a water trough are shown. The
trough is open at the top. What is the surface area of the
outside of the trough?
square feet

Look, when you want to do something like put it like x^2. x2 could mean x² or x₂. so to clear confusion, know the notation. to find the product multiply the x's and you get -8x and the y's and you get 6y. since it's all being multiplied it is just -8x6y, or answer a. although the better answer is -48xy(combining -8 and 6) because you should multiply constants whenever you can.

You answer are correct is it j+50
