How would finding the area of a square be the as finding the area of a rectangle?
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
How can the area of a rectangle stay the same when its length and width change?
Here's an example: A 4*4 rectangle has the same area as a 1*16 rectangle, but their perimeters are different.
Would the surface area of a triangular prism stay the same even if the dimensions were different?
No. There is no reason for the surface area of all triangular prisms to be the same always. For example, increasing the length of the prism only adds area; there is nothing to counteract this increase, so the area must be different.The same applies to all prisms and 3-dimensional objects: changing the dimensions can alter the area.
How are volume and surface area the same when volume stays the same?
There is no reason for the surface area to remain the same even if the volume is the same.
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be.
