Question 1

A television manufacturer sold three times as many televisions in 2006 as it did in 1996. To illustrate this fact, the manufacturer draws a pictogram as shown below. The television on the right is three times as tall and three times as wide as the television on the left.



Why is this pictogram misleading? What visual impression is portrayed by the pictogram?

Question 2

To illustrate this fact, the manager draws a pictogram as shown below. Each cube depicts a parcel. The side length of the "parcel" on the right is twice the side length of the "parcel" on the left.
