Alec is trying to find the surface area of a shoe box. What unit will he use?

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

That's not a unit. @adamaero

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

It would be most appropriate to use inches in this case.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

What are your options?

Alec is trying to find the surface area of a shoe box. What unit will he use? A) cubic feet B) square feet Eliminate C) cubic inches D) square inches

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Cubic inches.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

That's exactly why you should be able to recognize lengths.

OpenStudy (adamaero):

Or just give the answer, without anyone learning anything

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

IT is a 3-dimesnional shape and inches is more appropriate.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Unani... it said surface area. Why you say cubic?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

^ if it said volume then cubic..

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Zactly. A surface AREA is like any other area.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Ah, my mistake.
