The problem asks to determine whether you would use Lateral Area (LA), Surface Area (SA), or Volume (V) to solve the given scenarios.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks to determine whether you would use Lateral Area (LA), Surface Area (SA), or Volume (V) to solve the given scenarios.

2. Solution Steps

a) Cardboard to make a cereal box: To determine how much cardboard is needed, we need to find the total area of all the faces of the cereal box. This is the surface area.

b) Amount of cardboard on an empty toilet paper roll: Toilet paper rolls are usually open at both ends, so we are looking for the area of the curved surface, which is the lateral area.

c) Water to fill a bathtub: The amount of water needed to fill the bathtub is a measure of its capacity, which corresponds to its volume.

d) Amount of dirt to fill a flower bed: The amount of dirt needed to fill the flower bed is a measure of its capacity, which corresponds to its volume.

3. Final Answer

a) SA

b) LA

c) V

d) V
