Shawntelle is solving a problem involving a triangular pyramid. You hear her say that "bee" is equal to 24 inches. How can you tell if she is talking about the base area B of the pyramid o about the base b of the triangle?

Answer 1

area is measured in square inches

Answer 2

so then it would be base b of the triangle?

Answer 3

is that right??

Answer 4

R_scott is telling you that the measure of square inches applies only to area.

Which do you think is correct?

Answer 5

Well 24 is not a squared number because there isn’t a number times itself that equals 24 so I said base b of the triangle.

Answer 6

As R_scott wrote, "area is measured in square inches."

You need the answer that has the word "area" in it!!

Answer 7

Okay thank you
