Tom solved the problem a different way. First he found the total area of the floor, and then he multiplied by the height. Does Tom’s method work? Explain.

No, he has to find the floor and roof before multiplying by the height.

No.

Tom forgot about the area of the top/roof, the floor and roof are different dimensions/areas, making his method incomplete.

He needs to find area of Roof, Floor then times height.
