Homework 11
Find (or write your own) and solve 3 problems that involve permiter, or area, or surface area, or volume of similar figures or solids. Try to find one easy problem (a typical exercise in a geometry class), one of medium difficulty, and one hard (tricky) problem (predict possible mistakes; also show a correct solution, and explain your reasoning). If a problem can be solved in different ways, show as many different solutions as you can find.
