find the area of each side and add it together :) triangle = (1/2) base * height = 1/2 * 8 * 6 = ? rectangle = base * height -> 10 * 17 = ? -> 17 * 8 = ? -> 17 * 6 = ? add all them question marks up ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2*8*6= 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10*17=170

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17*8=136

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17*6=102

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

oh whoops, there's two triangles :P sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :s

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep :) so 24 + 24 + 170 + 136 + 102 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

456

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I think that's the answer :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right whoopsie xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what now :o

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

sin(angle) = opposite divided by hyposenuse so sin(6) = x / 5 solve for x :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

hmmm? multiply both sides by 5? so x = 5 sin(6) = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i wrong? :/

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

plug 5 sin(6) into your calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5226

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I think so...

OpenStudy (anonymous):
