For the truckin" rel="nofollow">ing company to bill you accurately, you must report certain" rel="nofollow">in calculations of the crate's size with the correct units. Determin" rel="nofollow">ine: a.The area of the base b.The perimeter of the base c The volume of the crate 4.The lobsters must all be packed in" rel="nofollow">in the same orientation (with all the heads are facin" rel="nofollow">ing the same direction) to travel safely. Assume that each lobster requires a rectangular space that is 10 in" rel="nofollow">inches in" rel="nofollow">in length. 5 in" rel="nofollow">inches at its widest. and 3 in" rel="nofollow">inches high.
