close. notice how it has 3/4 for the base, PLUS the dotted line that's not actually part of the shape. It then gave you 1/8 for the dotted portion. you need to subtract. 3/4-1/8
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
do you know how to do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that = 5/8
OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):
there you go. Now just multiply 5/8 and 1/2
