tool. Once you have decided what measuring tool and units you will be using, begin by studying the base of your objects. Measure the base of each item. If the base is a polygon, you will need to measure the length and width. If the base is circular, you will need to measure the diameter or radius. Record your measurements and include the units. Using these measurements, calculate the base area of your items. Record these area calculations, along with proper units. Use 3.14 for π and round your calculations to the nearest tenth of a unit. To calculate the volume of your 3-D objects, you need two things, the area of the base of the object and the height of the object. Using your

(Thanks so much for taking the time to tutor me) You will need to decide on the units for your measurements. This will depend on your measuring tool. Once you have decided what measuring tool and units you will be using, begin by studying the base of your objects. Measure the base of each item. If the base is a polygon, you will need to measure the length and width. If the base is circular, you will need to measure the diameter or radius. Record your measurements and include the units. Using these measurements, calculate the base area of your items. Record these area calculations, along with proper units. Use 3.14 for π and round your calculations to the nearest tenth of a unit. To calculate the volume of your 3-D objects, you need two things, the area of the base of the object and the height of the object. Using your measuring tool, measure the heights of your items. Use the same units you used to measure the length, width, and diameter or radius in step 1. Record your measurements. Using the area of the base from step 1 and the height you just found, calculate the volume of your items. Show all your work and be sure to include the proper units with your final volume calculation. Use 3.14 for π and round your calculations to the nearest tenth of a unit. Look at your items again. Notice the surfaces that make up your 3-D items. You will now calculate the area of all these surfaces in order to find the total surface area of your items. Calculate the areas of all the surfaces that make up your items, and record your area calculations, including proper units. Add all these areas up to find the total surface area of your items, and record the final total surface area for each item. Make sure to include proper units. Use 3.14 for π and round your calculations to the nearest tenth of a unit. (Some Questions) Question 1: What should your units on your base area calculations be, and why? How is this different from the units on your volume If you were to take a cross-section parallel to the base for one of your items, what shape would you see? Can a cross-section be a sphere? Explain in two to three sentences.
