Jaelyn Silva · Answer 1

Surface area is area so it's in^2 or inches squared

12 in=1 foot therfor

1in<1 foot

so therfor if we converted the surface area to feet, then the number would decrease, but the actual area would stay the same because we just converted the units, we didn't change the actuall area

therfor the answers are A and E
