Question

CHECK this for me please. Fan and medal! :)

Answer 1

I feel like it's a trick question! None of the others were that easy!!!! lol

Answer 2

It's 26 in^2 not 52 in^2.

Answer 3

How did you get that?

Answer 4

There is two triangles. The area of the bigger one is (10 * 4) / 2 = 20
The area of the smaller triangle, well you have the base which is 3, but the height isn't given. You can use Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side and you get 4. So smaller triangle's area is (4 * 3) / 2 = 6.

Therefore, the total area is 20 + 6 = 26 in^2

Answer 5

Do you understand? Or would you like a more in-depth explanation? @KatieMoFo

Answer 6

Answer 8

Btw, no medal/fan? lol @KatieMoFo

Answer 9

Just in case you still don't fully understand

Remember the area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height

you have 2 triangles here...both with the same height...but different bases

one triangle has base 10...and the height 4
the other triangle has base 3 and the height 4

so

1/2(10)(4) is 1/2 of 40...which is 20
and
1/2(3)(4) is 1/2 of 12 ... which is 6

so 20 + 6 is 26 :)

Answer 10

Oh thank you so much!! Both of you!!! :D

Answer 11

anytime :)
