I understand everything except for the part about the garden.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Where is the base for the triangle?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice the garden is shaped like a right triangle?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

I really forget everything about triangles and the types.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In any right triangle, you can pick either leg to be the base, and the other will be the height.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

The leg?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How did you handle the large triangle?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The legs of a right triangle are the two sides that form the right angle?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

oh damn! I don't know how to do that one either actually...

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Oh wait yes I do.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

2 sides are both 12m.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

So either way i'd do 6x20 / 2 = area.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No, they're not.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

wait what? uhh

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Sorry, I'm just learning this stuff.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Relearning lol.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

There are three shapes here. One rectangle. A large triangle. A small triangle. Do you agree with this?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Yes.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

No problem. We'll go over it slowly.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

12 x 14 (LxW) for the area of the rectangle.

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Correct?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

Thank you so much.
