@Romero can you help me with this one plz
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the triangles
\[base=4\]\[height=3\]
the formula for the area of a triangle is \[\frac{1}{2}base*height\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you tell me the area of a triangle
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually I made it a mistake in that picture. Look at the picture you have. I see 6 triangles. so 6*6=36
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but we need the area of the hexagon inside.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so the answer i 36cm sqaure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plus something else
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[3*p*b=area\]
where
p=2
b=4

3*2*4=24
so the area of a hexagon is 24
36 + 24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
36 + 24?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
