Question

The figure is formed from rectangles. Find the total area.

Answer 1

i know a = l x w

Answer 2

yes the square all sides are 3 so now you can find the square.. (the little one) which would cause the big one's base to be 5. see if you can figure that up now!

Answer 3

3*3*3=?
5*5*5=?

Answer 4

27
124

Answer 5

125

Answer 6

there ya go, then if I'm correct you add them together to get the whole area.. If I'm correct

Answer 7

34ft^2

Answer 8

152 sq ft

Answer 9

34 x 34 is 1156?

Answer 10

@Tally5667 i'm sorry I may be thinking of something different.. Ignore everything I said.. I'm not sure if it was correct..

Answer 11

The area of the little square is 3 times 3 which is 9
The area of the big square is 5 times 5 which is 25
The total area is 9+25 which is 34

Answer 12

No to find area it's lwh

Answer 13

Lolz, I went into skitzofrenic mode when I saw that answer.

Answer 14

Answer 15

The answer is 34! End of this saga.

Answer 16

I'm so sorry, volume is lwh. 34 is correct!!

Answer 17

schizophrenic

Okay thanks. What is the formula then?

Answer 18

the formula should be L*W

Answer 19

What grade are you in?

Answer 20

I'm pretty sure you guys are right but the other three is height, right?

Answer 21

@Azteck who are you asknig that to?

Answer 22

Ninth

I'm a little slow sorry. I wasnt sure what the formula was..

Answer 23

@Tally5667 either way you'll get the same answer no matter waht 3 you use..

Answer 24

But if you where to use height you would've done what I did to find the volume.. 3*3*3 to get 27 as the volume for the small square. But to find the area it's just 3*3 L*W no matter what 3 you use you'll get the same answer

Answer 25

Thats good information. I'll take better notes.. Thanks everyone. Sorry again

Answer 26

no prob!

Answer 27

@BrittanyFrench Why'd you think you had to use the volume formula when the shape was in 2D! (2-dimension)

Answer 28

2-dimensions*

Answer 29

@Azteck yeah I'm sorry. I'm on medicine right now, so I'm a little off. And to be honest i don't know why I thought I had to, that's just what came to my mind seeing 2 objects! Sorry again..

Answer 30

Lolz. Don't need to say sorry. I just asked because for someone doing medicine, who should be someone who excels at math, probably would know this in a flash. But maybe it was a mind blank.

Answer 31

Yeah I am really good at math idk why I didn't catch that!! lol.. Guess it's past my bed t ime huh? lol..

Answer 32

Yeah, my mind wanders too sometimes

Answer 33

I think everyone's does
