Apacking crate measures 3 feet by 12 feet by 7 feet. what is the area of its smallest side

The packing crate measures 3 feet by 12 feet by 7 feet (volume). To find the area of the smallest side, multiply the two smaller numbers

3 x 7 = 21

21 feet² is the area of the smallest side

hope this helps

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

your answer would be 12
