Brandon and his teacher used the pan balance shown below to measure the mass of a sample in science class.They measured the mass of the sample multiple times to make sure the results were correct. Each time they measured the sample, they could place it directly on the pan balance. They did not have to first put it in a container.What type of matter did Brandon and his teacher measure? A. gas B. solid C. liquid
