Please help find area in math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiple base times the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

length times width

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in other words, take the length of one side, and multiply it by the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This goes for all quadrilaterals, aka four sided figures such as rectangles and squares

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for triangles, multiply the base times the height, then divide your result by two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do i add one side then multiply by the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you looking to find the area of any figure in particular?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply the sides, no addition

OpenStudy (anonymous):

may you show me an example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, what shape are you looking to find the area for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

triangle? square? parallelogram? rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah, this is a two step problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, I left for a minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have two rectangles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find the areas separately, then add them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

your answer is d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

may you explain how you got that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21 - 12 = 9 9 - 6 = 3 9 x 3 = 27 12 x 9 = 108 108 + 27 = 135

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to subtract to find the length of some of the smaller sides; they don't give that to you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i still dont understand area's that well so thank you very so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you need help, don't hesitate to ask!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no prob! Thnx for the medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):
