All right, you've got to build up a lot of smaller areas and add them all together. Let's start with the rectangle. Length of four, width of three. Area of?

12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the rectangle right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's correct. Let's look on top of that now. We've got a five-sided figure. We can break that down into a rectangle and two smaller triangles as I'll draw below.

The rectangle in this system, what are its length and width? And its area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0_o idk what you just did there i just know the area for the triangles on the left and right of the rectangle idk the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All right... No worries... Let me draw the figure one more time, with some more lines drawn in.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area of the second figure can be seen as the area of the big rectangle minus the area of the three rectangles that are missing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All right, we have a five sided figure, we know it is 3 units high, the base is 4 units wide, and the top is 2 units wide.. So, let's draw that out...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3 times 4? cause the base on top doesnt count?
