OpenStudy (anonymous):

=15*16 + 4*15/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of rectangle +area of triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still confused can you walk me through it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 270

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the figure has a triangle & a rectangle.total area will be the sum of rect. and tria.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically i have to find the area for both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok can you help me do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the area of triangle is =base*height/2 rectangle =length *breadth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u don't know base, height of tria.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do but i dont know whats a breadth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

breadth is same as width, hope u know width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the are of the tri is 150 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope , the base of tria is not 20. it is 20-16.now try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

base is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now u cn find area of both?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so the height for the tri is 15 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tri=30 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rectangle=300 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope length is 16 not 20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 15 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15*20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me make it clear. For a rectangle the biggest value will be the length (here it is 16) and the othr value is the width (here 15).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't consider whether it is horizonal or vertical

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thus rect area =16*15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

240

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270 then thats what i got at first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

270 is right
