Question

look at the polhedron p and q on the paper. polyhedron p is a cube with a corner removed and relocated to the top of p. polyhedron q is a cube with the same base as polyhedron p. how do the surface areas compare? ps surface area is less than qs surface area. ps surface area is equal to qs surface area. ps surface area is greater than qs surface area. there is not enough information given to compare their surface areas.

Explanation:

Step1: Analizar la operación

Al remover un vértice de un cubo (poliedro P) y relocarlo en la parte superior, las caras que se crean y se eliminan se compensan.

Step2: Considerar las caras

La cara que se crea al mover el vértice reemplaza exactamente la cara que se perdió al remover el vértice originalmente.

Answer:

P's surface area is equal to Q's surface area.
