Need help now!!:The surface area of a triangular pyramid is 375.2m2 what would change if the surface area were measured in square centimeters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well lets think about this :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.The surface area of the pyramid would decrease B.The surface area of the pyramid would increase C. The surface area of the pyramid will stay the same,but the number representing the surface area will decrease D.The surface area of the pyramid will stay the same but the number representing the surface area will increase

I kinda don't get this but ok @masterkman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 752 000 cm^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill write out the explanation in a second ^_^

@masterkman Wow thanks your very smart! :)

The volume of a cube is 512 cm3.what would change if the volume of the cube were measured in cubic meters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[100cm/1m\] now square the two numbers to get it into similar terms. which is \[10000cm^2/1m^2\] We want to use this ratio as a conversion factor. Multiply it by the number given. We didnt change the area, because the area in this case is constant. We just changed the representation and length of measurement. If a dependent variable were to change, then we would expect area change

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C. The surface area of the pyramid will stay the same,but the number representing the surface area will decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A.The volume of the prism will decrease b. the volume would increase c.the number of cubic units would increase d.the number of cubic units decrease

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C.

By using the same method I showed you earlier. Instead we'd be multiplying think of it as variables. You want to scale it and cancel each one out so you get your wanted result in a manner that is "legal" in mathematics.

Thanks I know how to do it now bye :)
