I want to have a yard, just so I can make a patio of geckos. They're very cute. And it's excellent that the descriptiors includ surface area, thickness, and volume (just in case you can't multiply and do the unit conversion). Plus they give the weight, so it's easy to calculate the specific of concrete.

The frog one isn't nearly so nice.
"Hexacon Concentrex" sounds like it wants to be a drug.
And "Hexacon Interplexus" is one of the unknown muscles of the body.
I wonder if there's a con named Hexacon?

OK, so I still want to write a word problem.
a. The surface area of a gecko paving stone is 0.66 ft2. The thickness is 2.5 inches. What is the volume of the paver, in cubic feet?
b. The paving stone weighs about 20 pounds. About how much does a cubic foot of concrete weight?

The sound a gecko hears back when yelling in a cavern: gecho
