Answer 2

@iGreen

Answer 3

i know A= l*w right

Answer 4

Cut it into 3 rectangles and a triangle.

Answer 5

Yep, that's for the rectangle.

Answer 6

A square is a rectangle too right i just dont wanna be wrong XD

Answer 7

No..

Answer 8

A square has all of its side EQUAL, a rectangle has two shorter equal sides and two longer equal sides.

Answer 9

*sides

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

Okay, let's find the width of the middle rectangle.

See the two 8's on the right? We subtract these from 24 on the left.

8 + 8 = ?

Answer 12

16

Answer 13

Correct, and what's 24 - 16?

Answer 14

big rectangle - small rectangle + triangle

Answer 15

8

Answer 16

Yes, so that's the width of the middle rectangle.

To find the length, we subtract 26 - 14.

Answer 17

ok

Answer 18

What do you get?

Answer 19

12

Answer 20

Yes, so the width is 8, and the length is 12.

Multiply them to find the area

Answer 21

96

Answer 22

Correct, now let's find the area's of the two equal rectangles.

They have lengths of 26, and widths of 8.

Find the area

Answer 23

ok give me a minute

Answer 24

a=203

Answer 25

Now we have to find the triangle, right?

Answer 26

@iGreen

Answer 27

Um..A isn't 203

Answer 28

oh oops mistake

Answer 29

A=208

Answer 30

Yep, and there are two rectangles like that, so multiply by 2.

Answer 31

help me with my question now

Answer 32

416?

Answer 33

Correct, so the last part we have to find is the triangle.

\(A = \dfrac{1}{2}bh\)

Base = 26
Height = 8.7

Plug them in and solve

Answer 34

wait so 26/8.7?

Answer 35

No..we multiply them together then multiply 1/2.

Answer 36

i thought that because i made a bunch of notes but how you put it i didnt understand

Answer 37

226.2 is what i got for just multiplying them

Answer 38

is that right?

Answer 39

Correct, now multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2

Answer 40

113.1?

Answer 41

Yes, now add all of the areas up:

113.1 + 416 + 96

Answer 42

625.1

Answer 43

Correct, that's our answer.
