^^^^^^ is the example for this question

Answer 3

VVVVVVV this is my figure

Answer 4

I'll give it a shot. 1 sec while I look

Answer 5

And i need help with a few steps

Answer 6

OK @1lorax2

Answer 7

You just need to find the area of those rectangles?

Answer 8

Basically ill post all the steps i need to do!

Answer 9

1 -Find the perimeter of your figure. (In the example image from step 1, you would find the perimeter of the building and patio.)

Answer 10

2 - Find the area of your figure. (In the example image from step 1, you would find the area of the building and patio.)

Answer 11

3 - Use the key of 1 square = 2 feet for your top view picture. What would be the actual perimeter and area of your building?

Answer 12

Lets start with step 1. And the things we're supposed to "do the steps on" is the one with a graph (unlabeled with names), correct?

Answer 13

Uh my graph is the second one i posted

Answer 14

Ok- we do the work with that right? I'm just trying to figure out if we're working with actual numbers or if we're doing theoretical work

Answer 15

Sorry for all the questions

Answer 16

Ah ya i guess we are doing it with #'s

Answer 17

Np !

Answer 18

Good- that makes life much easier

Answer 19

! cool

Answer 20

So- step 1. If you're supposed to show work, then we should use the distance formula to find the distance between points. If not, then you can just count. I don't know what they want

Answer 21

I guess counting will go with that, Actually i have something that can help 2sec

Answer 22

(Point A, located at (-8, 3), is the location of the storage closet and point C, located at (12, -4), is the director's office. Find point B, the location of the art supplies, if it is 2 over 5 the distance from point A to point C.)

Answer 23

this goes with the example graph i posted

Answer 24

ok.... do we need to do work with that too?

Answer 25

@1lorax2 does that help?

Answer 26

no no no it to show like an example

Answer 27

I'm sorry, I'm really confused. Right now, we're trying to find the perimeter of the shapes "patio" that you created, right?

Answer 28

No! sorry we are looking at this my graph

Answer 29

Ok, ok, now I think I'm up to speed. So all you need to do with that is count the distances, and add them up. Perimeter is the entire distance around your shape.

Answer 30

ya bassicaly follow the 3 steps i posted!

Answer 31

Ok. Well, what do you think the answer to step 1 is?

Answer 32

@1lorax2 im gona send the whole project with instruction so you can understand better

Answer 33

@1lorax2 can you read it?

Answer 34

Oh boy. What level of math is this? It may be above me

Answer 35

Relly it geometry! @1lorax2

Answer 36

I'm supposed to take that next year! I'm sorry- I thought it was just going to be perimeter and area stuff. Maybe try to call one of the mods..... I super sorry I thought I was going to be able to help.

Answer 42

@mathmale plz ima desprate 4 help

Answer 43

desperate? sorry. Please post the original question here again, along with the instructions. We'll start from there. Exactly where are you stuck?

Answer 44

kk!

Answer 45

^^^^ my graph

Answer 46

I can see the diagram loud and clear. And your goal is ... what?

Answer 47

vvvvvv example graph

Answer 48

my goal is to answer the following questions:

Answer 49

1 -Find the perimeter of your figure. (In the example image from step 1, you would find the perimeter of the building and patio.)

Answer 50

2 - Find the area of your figure. (In the example image from step 1, you would find the area of the building and patio.)

Answer 51

3 - Use the key of 1 square = 2 feet for your top view picture. What would be the actual perimeter and area of your building?

Answer 52

In this case, I believe "perimeter" calls for the total distance AROUND the given figure; we do not go inside the figure. How have you calculated perimeters in the past?

Answer 53

@mathmale i give up ill go and ask my teacher thnx 4 tring!

Answer 54

How can you give up now? You haven't done anything (at least, anything that I can see)! Please stick to these tasks so that you can truly learn how to do them yourself.

Answer 55

If you're really giving up right now, I'm really disappointed. You have the ability to solve these problems and I wish you would stick around to learn how to solve them.
