Question

abb0t · Answer

That's quite a lot of topics. What exactly is it about volume and surface area dont you understand?

anonymous · Answer

Why not look up the formulas for each?

anonymous · Answer

The thing is that I have most of the formulas on hand, but I don't think memorizing will be as helpful as understanding why they are what they are, so I need help with that part.

anonymous · Answer

The "how" and "why" they are what they are.

anonymous · Answer

For example? There are many formulas... Which ones do you need to learn the most?

anonymous · Answer

I think that the volume ones are the ones that need the most help. So start with the volume?

anonymous · Answer

Actually, now that I reviewed them, I only don't understand the sphere one...
