I just need a little guidance, this question has got me stumped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well since its a composite figure you see a triangle and a square and you can use the distance formula to find the lengths of each side or just count them but just to be sure use the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll just leave it to @Bram

OpenStudy (anonymous):

26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did the square on top by multiplying the rest i counted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nice try Bram but 26 isn't an option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rlly! ill try again is 25 or 27 an option ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

41 square units 44 square units 52 square units 56 square units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i know its 26 + 16 i for got to add the square on top the answer is 42!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

split up the object into different shapes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For future problems how do I find the height of the triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16+9+12+4= 41 The answer is 41

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks guys

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sthe answer is 42 @sbain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the squares on the ahypotenouse is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, didn't mean to say yes. She is finding the area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you split the image up into different shapes, you have a rectangle and two triangles. By finding the area for each individual shape and then adding up the areas, it equals 41
