\[(\sqrt{2})^2 =2\]
\[(\sqrt{3})^2 =3\]
Area = (1/2)x base x height
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sqrt {a} \times \sqrt b = \sqrt{a \times b}\] \[\sqrt a \times \sqrt a = \sqrt{a \times a} = a\]

i.e \[\sqrt 6 \times \sqrt 2 = \sqrt{6 \times 2} = \sqrt{12}\]

do you get it @Lilly95 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

those were just examples
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i.e. means something like for example
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in your problem area = bh/2 therefore \[A = \frac{2\sqrt 3 \times 3 \sqrt 3}{2}\] \[2\sqrt 3 \times 3 \sqrt 3 = (2\times 3)(\sqrt{3 \times 3}) = 6(3) = 18\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you ahve to divide it by 2 so \[A = \frac{18}{2} = 9\]
