Answer 1

the amount of soup that I can make in my crockpot

Explanation:

A) is an area. the foil would be cut into a square or circle, making it an area.

B) is the soup in the pot. the amount is given by the cross-sectional area of the pot (if circular Area of circle = π r ²) multiplied by the depth of the pot. since we have r ² (which is r X r) multiplied by a length (depth of pot) , it is a volume.

C) like A) this would be a two-dimensional item. so it is an area.

D) this will just be a number
