1. Why is it necessary for us to combine two formulas?
1. It is necessary for us to combine two formulas because we may need both formulas to solve a problem.

2. Connection: What would you need to do if you were to apply the same skill to your can?
2. If I were to apply the same skill to my can I would need to insert the measurements into the formula.
