Example of Assignment 1

My 3 shapes are a cube, a rectangular prism and a pyramid.

A cube's face is a square.
Area of a square is S x S.
If the sides are 5cm and 5 cm what is the area?

A rectangular prism's face is a rectangle.
Area of a rectangle is L x W.
If the length is 3cm and the width is 5 cm what is the area?

A pyramid's face is a rectangle.
Area of a rectangle is L x W.
If the length is 6cm and the width is 2 cm the area is 12cm squared.

Area is similar to volume because area is the size of a surface and the volume is the amount of space a object takes up. They both deal with the same shapes, but area is the 2-D shape and volume is 3-D. The 2-D shapes make up the 3-D.
