This week I learned the difference between the metric and imperial systems and how to convert them;
- the imperial system is the american system which includes miles, feet, inches, and yards
- The metric system which most of the world uses, includes kilometers, meters, and cm
I also learned how to find the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders;
Volume of prism= the area of the base of prism x height
Surface area of prism= add the areas of all the surfaces together
area of base= 2(pi)r
