yeah got it :)
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
alright :)
so you found that 3*7 is one of the rectangular sides
then there's three of them so you did 3*7*3 = 63 right? :)
but don't forget that you have two other triangles to add to it
area of triangle = (1/2)(base)(height)
= (1/2) (3) (2.6)
and there are two triangles

i looked up find the area of it and tried to get everything in but did it wrong i still got 63 though

Did u get it
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
hmmm... You should add 2(1/2)(3)(2.6) to the 63
because you want to account for the two end triangles :)

2(1/2)(3)(2.6) + 63 = 70.8

Correct :)
