Urgent ! 1a company creates tin boxes out of sheet metal. what measure should it use to find out how much sheet metal it needs to make a box that is 6 cm by 4 cm by 18 cm?
surface area
volume
area
lateral area

  surface area

Step-by-step explanation:

The "surface area" of a figure refers to the total external area, the sum of areas of all of the sides and ends. Since sheet metal must cover all of these places, the notion of "surface area" would seem to apply.

__

"Volume" has to do with how much space is filled. It would pertain if the company were making solid tin ingots of the dimensions given.

"Area" and "lateral area" generally have to do with portions of the area of the box. "Area" can be interpreted in different ways, depending on context, but may be considered to refer to the area of one face of the box. "Lateral area" would refer to the total area of the sides of the box, excluding the ends. For a rectangular box, "sides" and "ends" would need further description.

step-by-step explanation:

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
