Intro

Building a Snow Cone Stand

By the end of this lesson you will find area of rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and triangles, and volume of right rectangular prisms with positive rational dimensions. Imagine building a snow cone stand: you need plywood for the counter, metal for a trapezoid sign, and space for ice in the cooler.
