Which of the following is a situation where finding neither the lateral area nor the surface area would be appropriate?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

I'm assuming there are some situations coming?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Determining how many bricks are needed to build a pyramid with a brick floor. Determining how much stucco is needed to stucco the walls and roof of a building. Determining how much paint is needed to entirely paint a pyramid-shaped ornament. Determining how much paint is needed to paint the walls of your bedroom.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The first one.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did that and it didn't work??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ibelieve its the ornament one

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then try the second one. Surface area is definitely important in buying paint. I'm not positive about stucco.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Why would it be the ornament one?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Because of the small size perhaps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because if you're going to cover the whole thing you would need to find how mch paint right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're looking for how muchpaint not the area of the ornament

OpenStudy (mertsj):

But whenever you buy paint, it always tells on the can how many square feet it will cover.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

But you are probably right because an ornament would be small (probably) and there would not be a can of paint that small.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will try that one and see if it works

OpenStudy (mertsj):

ok

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Did it work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm. no but I did get a 90
