@Notamathgenius can you please clarify me regarding the process of solving this? I'm confused alot with yours, so am asking you please dont mind

Answer 15

The math was
for the area of the cube would be 4x6 x 5x6=720
the area of the triangle was 3x5/2

Answer 16

guys look: 1,000 is the answer.. but idk how to get it

Answer 17

its just asking for the *side* of the house, which is what confused me at first, you don't need to find the whole cube

Answer 18

@an12345 Look at it, now the side of the house, has 4 cubes on the vertical line and 5 cubes on the horizontal. so it'll be 4*5 = 20 for the area. Ok till here? now we have area of each cube to be 36, so side will be 6. now multiply 20*6*6 = 720

Answer 19

wait where did you get the 6 from?

Answer 20

i've just written 36 as 6*6 thats all :D

Answer 21

o ok

Answer 22

how about for the triangle?

Answer 23

and for it, you have 4 full cubes and two havles... considering them you have 4*36 + 2*26/2 = 180

now adding you get 720 + 180 = 1000

I still dont understand but still i've managed to get it :D ;)
