WILL GIVE MEDAL!!! PLEASE SHOW WORK :) THXX Find the area of the figure. Assume the figure is made up of parallelograms and triangles

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

@jdoe0001 could you please help? or anyone...I need help

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

The area of that figure=area of triangle + area of parallelogram.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

@RebeccaPink6398 Do you know the formulas for the areas of a triangle and parallelogram

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \textit{area of a parallelogram}=base\cdot altitude\\ \quad \\ \textit{area of a triangle}=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot base\cdot altitude\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

if you grab the triangle and sit it down on the 14cm side, you'll notice the base and its height

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

i still don't get it

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Okay.

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

I think we should go down to triangles and parallelograms.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

no

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Okay, what exactly is your confusion?

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

@RebeccaPink6398

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

well i don't get what ur doing and it seems like a completely different question than what i asked

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

To answer your question we need to break that shape into a triangle and a parallelogram. I did the triangle part.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

ok

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

Understand?

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

not really

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

A. 441 cm² B. 343 cm² C. 539 cm² D. 686 cm² here are the possible answers and ur teaching me fractions

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

I'm not. I'm showing you how to get to the solution. It seems to me you just want to be spoon fed the answer.
