Determining Area, Surface Area, or Volume

What type of units are used to measure the area of a 2D figure?

• Cubic units

• Linear units

• Square units

• Circular units

How do you determine the surface area of a 3D object?

• Average area of its faces

• Sum of the area of its faces

• Product of its dimensions

• Sum of the volume of its faces

What is measured in cubic units?

• Area of a square

• Length of a rectangle

• Volume of a 3D figure

• Surface area of a cube

Which scenario requires finding the area?

• Amount of paint needed for a wall

• Capacity of a box

• Size of a garden plot

• Volume of a swimming pool

What would you measure in square units?

• Depth of a pool

• Area of a classroom

• Weight of a box

• Volume of a jug

Which example involves calculating surface area?

• Filling a water tank

• Wrapping a gift

• Pouring concrete

• Planting a lawn

In which case would you measure the surface area?

• Determining the amount of carpet needed for a floor

• Calculating the amount of water in a pool

• Measuring the length of a field

• Estimating the weight of a stone

What is the purpose of measuring volume?

• To find the weight of an object

• To determine how much space an object occupies

• To measure the height of an object

• To calculate the distance around an object

Which situation would not require the measurement of volume?

• Checking how much gas a tank can hold

• Calculating the area of a park

• Finding out how much water a bottle can contain

• Determining how much cereal a box can hold

What determines whether to use square or cubic units in a measurement?

• Whether the object is 2D or 3D

• The material of the object

• The weight of the object

• The color of the object
