What units are used to measure area?
- A.
Square units
- B.
Large units
- C.
Pretty units
- D.
Cubic units
Correct Answer
A. Square unitsExplanation
Square units are used to measure area because area is a two-dimensional measurement that represents the amount of space enclosed within a shape. Square units refer to the measurement of the area in terms of the number of squares that can fit within the shape. This is commonly used in various fields such as mathematics, architecture, and engineering to quantify the size of surfaces or regions. Large units, pretty units, and cubic units do not specifically measure area and are not appropriate for this purpose.Rate this question:

A school textbook most likely weighs ...
- A.
2 lbs
- B.
20 lbs
- C.
200 lbs
- D.
1 T
Correct Answer
A. 2 lbsExplanation
A school textbook most likely weighs 2 lbs because textbooks are typically designed to be portable and easy to carry. A weight of 2 lbs is a reasonable and manageable weight for students to carry in their backpacks or handbags. It is unlikely for a school textbook to weigh 20 lbs, 200 lbs, or 1 T (ton) as these weights would be excessively heavy and impractical for students to transport.Rate this question:
