OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry... I am confused :( @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you be more explicit about your confusion?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do you agree that you have 4 equal trapezoids?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or if traps are too hard ... think of it like rectangles capped with triangles |dw:1375371550411:dw|
