Do you know the formulas for calculating the area of a rectangle and triangle?
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
@keke_luvs_u You there?

@ShadowLegendX no i dont
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
\[Rectangle: A = l \times w \]
\[Triangle: A = b \times h \div 2 \]
A = Area
l = length
w = width
b = base
h = height
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
So first lets start with the rectangle
What are its lengths and widths?
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
|dw:1394932093382:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok

is this right??
10 x 19=190 17 x 22 x 17=6,358 190 x 6,358=1,208,020
OpenStudy (anonymous):
17 x 22 x 17=6,358 i think this part is right because it was length times height
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Let me check
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
L = 22
W = 17
\[22 \times 17 = 374\]
Rectangle Area = 374

You found the right numbers but you multiplied wrong
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Now for the triangle
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Now it is tricky to find the measurements of the triangle. But all you have to do is use the rectangles sides to find the base and height of the triangle.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
It states that the triangles base is 19 so
B = 19

which base right??
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
B = base
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok now i got it
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Now we can see that the length of the rectangle is 22cm. The triangle is against the side of the rectangle so we can use this to determine the height of the triangle.

ok

so right now are we trying to figuire out the second figuire?
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
\[22 - 10 = 12\]
The height of the triangle is 12
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
\[19 \times 12 = 228 \]
Now we must divide 228.
\[228 \div 2 = 114\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Area of Rectangle: 374
Area of Triangle: 114

i think i no the last part !! now i multiply the two numbers right?
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Now since we are to calculate the area of the whole figure we must ---> ADD <--- the two areas of the two figures together.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
374 + 114=488
??
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
\[374 + 114 = 448\]
OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):
Correct :)
