Step #1 - Calculate the areas of all sides except the bottom:
Area of Front: 4 cm x 3 cm = 12 cm^2
Area of Back: 4 cm x 3 cm = 12 cm^2
Area of Side #1 = 9 cm x 4 cm = 36 cm^2
Area of Side #2 = 9 cm x 4 cm = 36 cm^2
Area of Top = 9 cm x 3 cm = 27 cm^2
Step #2 - Add areas:
12 + 12 + 36 + 36 + 27 = 123 cm^2
The correct answer is b) 123 cm^2

Tuesday's Answers
1)
2) Consider the fractions 3/2 and 1 3/4 (1 and 3/4). Which of these fractions is larger?
Option #1: Change both to improper fractions with common denominators - 3/2 = 6/4 and 1 + 3/4 = 4/4 + 3/4 = 7/4: 7/4 > 6/4
Option #2: Change both to decimals - 3/2 = (3 divided by 2) = 1.50 and 1 + 3/4 = 1 + (3 divided by 4) = 1.75: 1.75 > 1.50
Therefore, 1 3/4 > 3/2
3) It takes Nadeem 22 minutes to walk 1 kilometre. At this rate, approximately how long will it take Nadeem to walk 5 kilometres?
a) 1 hour b) 2 hours c) 100 hours d) 110 hours
Step #1: If it takes 22 minutes to walk 1 km, multiply 22 minutes by 5 to get how long it takes to walk 5 km.
22 minutes x 5 = 110 minutes
Step #2: Compare minutes to hours - There are 60 minutes in 1 hour and 120 minutes in 2 hours.
Therefore, the correct answer is b) 2 hours
