the answer should be 13 because all the sides are being increased by 8 so if 6 is increased by 8 it becomes 14 then take 1 away it becomes 13.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why'd you take away 1 ?

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

because on the side where 6 is increased it has a -1 or is that something else?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk . lol but 13 isn't even a option . the options are 8, 11/2 , 9 , and 10.

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

i can see that but if the side says 6 and every other side is increased by 8 than it should either be 14 or 13 depending on the -1 thing, but not any of the others.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

ask any teachers if there is a typo or mess up in the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will.
