@iceicebaby Hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need some help with this

OpenStudy (swag):

You need help or answers. You have posted this more than once @mathslover tried helping you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help with this now

OpenStudy (swag):

Ok well @mathslover would love to help you :)

mathslover (mathslover):

Okay, good spirit now!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :)

mathslover (mathslover):

See the attachment. I had joined C and D .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok :D

mathslover (mathslover):

So, I get two rectangles here : ABCE and CDFG . Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

mathslover (mathslover):

So, can you tell me the formula for the area of a rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = w*h

mathslover (mathslover):

right! So, let us find first of all the area of rectangle CDFG. Can you find the area of it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok Hold On :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be 8*3 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 24

mathslover (mathslover):

Yeah, awesome, right!

mathslover (mathslover):

so, what will be the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What you have to do is make this as a rectangle without any irregular surfaces. So to make the side where the number 8 is, we will bring down the 9 because it can bring it down to the length of 17 (8+9=17). For the side in which the 6 is we will have to add 3 to 6 because it is going vertical and will make the width of the rectangle. So if we add 6+3=9. Now we multiply 17*9=153. So the area will be 153 because the area=length*width.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it will be 153m^2 right

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i understand this thank you so much

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

Your welcome :)

Cut your diagram up into small rectangles and use the formula |dw:1379381888412:dw| B*H = A where, B = length of the base H = length of Height Then once you figure out the area of all three rectangles add them up and you have your answer
