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

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

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):
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

Hold on,
OpenStudy (anonymous):
your answer is d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
may you explain how you got that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sure!

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

You have to subtract to find the length of some of the smaller sides; they don't give that to you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
