Question

How can the areas of certain shapes be found? What are the meanings of surface area and volume and how can surface area and volume be found

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, to find the area of a:

square and rectangle you multiply (Length x Width) the formula is (LxW)

triangle you multiply (Base x Height) ÷ 2 the formula is (BxH/2)

The meaning of area is: the number of unit squares that can be contained in an object.

The meaning of volume is: the number of unit cubes that completely fill up a solid figure such as an ice cube.

To find the surface area of an object you:

Multiply the length times the width. (of only one side)

But for a triangle you multiply the base times the height, then divide the answer by 2 ( of only one side)

To find the volume you multiply the length times width times height.

But for a triangle you multiply the base times height.
