Question

If X = 2 centimeters, Y = 6 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters, what is the area of the object?

36 square centimeters
48 square centimeters
72 square centimeters
70 square centimeters

Answer 1

Without the shape of the object, the area cannot be accurately determined. Assuming a rectangular shape, the area using dimensions Y and Z would be 36 square centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the area of an object, you would typically multiply the lengths of two sides together. However, in the question provided, three measurements have been given: X = 2 centimeters, Y = 6 centimeters, and Z = 6 centimeters. Without further information on the shape of the object, it's not possible to accurately determine the area. If it's a rectangular object, the area would be the product of two of these dimensions. Assuming the object is a rectangle and using two of the given dimensions (Y and Z), the area would be 6 cm × 6 cm = 36 square centimeters.

Answer 2

In order to answer the question, it's absolutely essential to have
enough of a description of the object to know which of its parts
'X', 'Y', and 'Z' are, and what other parts it may have.

An ideal way to accomplish this would have been for you to include the
