Medal if helped

Answer 1

can anyone help?

Answer 2

do you know the formula? did you get a formula to understand how to work through it?

Answer 3

it doesn't give me a formula it just said i have to work out the problem

Answer 4

and find the area

Answer 5

does it give you an answer selection? or is it fill in the blank

Answer 6

fill in the blank for the area

Answer 7

Figure out the area of the parallelogram and then the area of the trapezoid. Do you know the formula for the areas?

Answer 8

for trapezoid it base times base times hight

Answer 9

base 1 times base 2 times height, right, so figure out the formula for a parallelogram
now

Answer 10

Actually for a trapezoid it's \[A=\frac{ a+b }{ 2 }h\] and for a parallelogram it's A=bh

Answer 11

ok sorry

Answer 12

my guess is 528, but i am not a math genius.. I did the formulas, then added them together at the end

Answer 13

then don't we divide by two??

Answer 14

what did yo use for the height of the trapezoid?
And yes you do divide by two

Answer 15

for the height of the trapezoid i used 10... but im horrible

Answer 16

me and you both gummybear1021 I'm horrible at math

Answer 17

Actually the height of the entire figure is 18, and the height of the parallelogram is 10. So 18-10 would be the height of the trapezoid.

Answer 18

so 8 is the hight

Answer 19

Yes

Answer 20

k do we know the area yet?

Answer 21

What does your formula look like for each of the shapes with the numbers put in?

Answer 22

what???.....

Answer 23

Okay, does your formula for the trapezoid look like this?\[A=(\frac{ 8+24 }{ 2 })8\]

Answer 24

yeah

Answer 25

okay, then what is the area of the trapezoid?

Answer 26

128

Answer 27

right? should be?

Answer 28

yeah. And does your formula for the parallelogram look like this?\[A=(10)(24)\]

Answer 29

yeah

Answer 30

okay, then what is the area of the parallelogram?

Answer 31

hold on

Answer 32

240?

Answer 33

yes, then to get the total area you add the area of both figures together

Answer 34

368

Answer 35

Yep, good job!

Answer 36

thank you i'm going to fan

Answer 37

thanks!

Answer 38

you are oh so vary welcome
