Are you home, so you have access to one of the objects the problem suggests? Do you have a ruler?

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

yes

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

i asnwered number 1 but i dont understand the rest @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. What kind of object are you using? A cereal box, something else?

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

a Box with 12 in Height, 12 in width, and 22 in length.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. Great. Let me draw it below to help us answer the other questions.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Does that look like your box? |dw:1436729743433:dw|

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

yeah

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Good. The answer to 1 is: 1. length = 22 in.; width = 12 in.; height = 12 in. Now let's look at part 2.

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

ok

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

When the box is in this position sitting on a surface (the floor or a table top), a base is the face of the box that sits on the surface. The top of the box is the other base. The two bases of the box are the bottom face and the top face.

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

so am i gonna list the surfaces?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Let's say we take a plane, and we let the plane go though the box. The plane must be parallel to the base, so it's a horizontal plane. I'll try to draw it for you.

OpenStudy (moazzam07):

ok
