Helloh :) I need help
Sam created a porch that was part wooden and part concrete, as shown in the figure below.
If a = 18 ft, b = 24 ft, and c = 30 ft, what is the total area of the porch? Assume that the wooden part is a right triangle and the concrete part is a square.
HERE IS THE PICTURE
what do you think you should do
@Jennifer2003
Multiply @zoejay1
it is a triangle so you will need to divide the answer in half, to get the answer you need to do B xH divided by 2
yes! you multiply
30 * 30 = 90 + A*C/2 = 270 it equals 360 ft.
BxH is Base times Hight
???
It is 360 based on what I said. ^^^^^^^^^
alright, what is the base of the porch, the bottom of thr triangle
but that's not an answer choice @CC-Right :(
Area of a triangle = \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(b \times h)\] We also know that all the sides of a square are congruent with each other.
What are the Choices?
@misty1212
you have an obtuse triangle... if you google area for obtuse triangle they will give you the equation.|dw:1426019513532:dw|
