Cereal boxes should be in the shapes of cubes to be boxed in the most efficient manner. Why do you think cereal boxes come in shapes that are rectangular prisms instead of cubes? If you ran a cereal company, would you make your boxes cube-shaped? Why or why not?

When you dilate a figure with a scale factor of 1/2, what will the dilated figure look like?                                                                                           a: the dilated figure will have side lengths that are half the length of the original side lengths.                                                                          b: the angles in the dilated figure will be half the measure of the original figure.                                                                                c: the dilated figure will have side lengths twice the length of the original.
