standard_description: Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Explain how you know the expressions in Column A are equivalent to the expressions in Column B.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:70%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Column A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Column B"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${-3(x+4)}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${-3x-12}$$"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${(4+x)+3}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${x+(4+3)}$$"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${(x+4)-3}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${-3+(x+4)}$$"}]}]}]}]}]}
Problem 2
Explain the properties of operations that were used to transform
$${a(x-y)}$$
to the equivalent expression,
$${-(ay-ax)}$$
.
Problem 3
If the expression
$${\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{4}}$$
is multiplied by
$$4$$
, the expression
$${{2x+3}}$$
results.
Is
$${{2x+3}}$$
an equivalent expression to
$${\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{4}}$$
?
