Homework 5
Find (or write your own) and solve 3 problems that involve permiter, area, surface area, or volume of similar figures or solids. Try to find one easy problem (a
typical exercise in a 9th/10th grade geometry class), one of medium difficulty, and one hard (tricky) problem. Predict possible mistakes; also show correct solutions,
and explain your reasoning. If a problem can be solved in different ways, show as many different solutions as you can find.
