TOO HARD
\[\frac{ 72 }{ 6 } = 12\] Scale Factor: 12
AB =EF so ABCD = EFGH.
no that is the scale factor not the total.
Well,letssee the equivalence they gave you, E->F = 72 and A->B = 6. \[\frac{ 72 }{ 6 }=12\] so wouldnt our ratio, or common difference between each side be a 12x whatever angle is there?
@Jhannybean yes! that is what i said :)
So for each side of the big trapezoid, EFGH, you'd need to multiply each smaller side of ABCD by 12 to figure out the lengths of each big side
with that you can find the rest of the side lengths. then find the total
i know @some_someone , i'm drawing a figure to help them.
okaii so: the scale factor is 12 AB = 6 6 * 12 = 72 = EF ---------------------- BC = 3 3 * 12 = 36 = FG -------------------
@IxairaS do you understand now?
can you find the rest @IxairaS

yes! thats the spirit :)
like @some_someone mentioned,the scale factor is 12, so you multiply each unknown side by 12 to figure them out.
No problem. Good luck with your class
Sure thing
Sure is.
okay next one :) I think its either A or D
For this one, you need to understand the area of a square. Do you know how to find the area of the square?
No
When they mean the area of the folded paper is halved, they're saying if you take the 4 triangles that circumscribed around the square, you can combine them to get 2 more squares. to all together you would have 3 squares.
Is it B
Yes. How did you get B, though?
I found the area of the square
The area of a square can be found by multiplying the base times itself.
Can we do another ones
Yes :)
Good job
For 34, The Area of a rectangle is = ?
A=1/2*b*h
No, no, that's the area of a triangle.
omg sorry read wrong a=L*W*
Ok.so if the area of a rectangle is L(w) , then what would 1/4 that area be?
idk :(
|dw:1369515269382:dw| see how there are 4 rectangles inside 1 of them? so if the area of the BIG rectangle is L(W), then by taking the area of the smaler ones, which is also L*w, we can saw the area of 1 of those rectangles is \[(\frac{ 1}{ 4 })*L*w\]
