fine with me
Directrix (directrix):
Look at the attachment. The idea is to "divide and conquer." That is, to divided the given figure into rectangular regions, find the area of each, and then add them together.
Directrix (directrix):
The area of a rectangle is length times width so the red rectangle is 4*1 or 4 square yards in area.
@desfields901 The blue rectangle has dimensions 3 by 4. So, what is its area?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
21?
Directrix (directrix):
The order of the digits is reversed. Look at your answer.

4*3 is not twenty-one
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Directrix (directrix):
Right. So, now look at the attachment and answer the addition question on it. Then, we'll be a step closer to your graduation.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
16
Directrix (directrix):
Yes, 16 square yards. I don't know if you're doing option answers or fill in the blank or something else but the units may be required as part of the answer.

Yes, that would be square feet if units appear on your option.

Directrix (directrix):
What is the area of the blue 7.2 by 6 rectangle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
43.2?
Directrix (directrix):
Yes. What is left is a trapezoid which I think can be split into a triangle and a rectangle. Let's see.

alright

11.2
Directrix (directrix):
Yes, now to get the area of the triangle.
A triangle's area is found by taking 1/2 its base times its height.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait , whats the base and height
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8.8?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait no, 17.6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
nvm 8.8
Directrix (directrix):
8.8 is what I got.
Now, add these three for the final answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
63.3
Directrix (directrix):
That is what I got. Expressed in square centimeters, sometimes written as cm^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got that too

The blue rectangle has dimensions 6 by 12. You cranked out its perimeter.
We need area. Try again.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
72 sorry i did 6 by 6
Directrix (directrix):
Look on the diagram and add the two component areas.

43.2?
Directrix (directrix):
Yes. The other figure is a triangle with base 9 and height 7.7.
What is 1/2 * 9 * 7.7 ? Take half the product of 9 and 7.7.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
138.6?
Directrix (directrix):
1/2 * 9 * 7.7 = 34.65.
I think you doubled the product of 9 and 7.7.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea i just got tha too i dont kno what i did before

Do examine the options carefully.
