The second one is your answer
Bear in mind that the area of a "parallelogram" is base * height.
notice the picture, the front and back parallelograms, have an altitude/height of 3 cm, and a base of 8 cm, so the area of one of those two is 3*8.
as far as the left and right parallelograms, they have a base of 7 cm, but the altitude is also 3 cm, so the area of one of those is 3 *7.
bear in mind the altitude/height is the distance from the base to the top, and in this case is just 3 cm.
anyway, you have 4 parallelograms, get the area of each, add them up, and that's the surface area of the figure.
2(3*8) + 2(3*7).
I'm guessing 1 and 4, but I'm not sure.
Answer:
1. MOM can be cut in half vertically in the middle of the O.
2. HIKED can be cut in half horizontally cutting right down the middle.
3. CHECK can also be cut in half horizontally just like No. 2.
4.
M
A
T
H
can be cut in half vertically right down the middle starting at the top of M.
5. CHECKBOOK can be cut in half horizontally cutting right down the middle.
Well, if 6/4 equals 1.5 --
Then 1.5*5, (which is the next quantity of days before it hits 9) equals 7.5.
Hope this helps.
