Answer 2

@inowalst @ilovepie123 plz help!!!!!

Answer 3

i think it might be either b or c

Answer 4

plz help!

Answer 5

area of a parallelogram = base * height.
area of a triangle = 1/2 8 base * height

Answer 6

do i do that then add?

Answer 7

or multiply

Answer 8

???

Answer 9

yep :)! you add the two together

Answer 10

find the base of the triangle, then you'll have the total base.

Answer 11

okay, i'll tag you and tell u what i get (this might be a bit :)

Answer 12

no problem :) give it your best shot

Answer 13

is "8 base" just 8

Answer 14

I got d

Answer 15

6 will be the height in the parallelogram.
8 will be the height in the triangle.
the base will be the same for both the parallelogram and triangle (17)

Answer 16

am i right??

Answer 17

that's whatI was thinking.

Answer 18

okay, i got d, is that correct??

Answer 19

Not sure if it's needed.

Answer 21

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH, i know it is c @butterflydreamer

Answer 22

i know what i did wrong

Answer 23

hang on xD
Let's do it slowly :)
Firstly let's find the area of the parallelogram = base * height.
We know base = 17, height = 6
SO area of the parallelogram = ?

Then let's find the area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Base = 17, height = 8
SO area of the triangle = ?

Then add the two together :)

Answer 24

Thanks Zara!

Answer 25

17 x 6 = 102

Answer 26

yep :)

Answer 27

and then the area of the triangle would be?

Answer 28

136

Answer 29

does the 1/2 mean that I have to divide it by 2

Answer 30

yep :)

Answer 31

if so, then that would be 68

Answer 32

170

Answer 33

yaaass! :D
So now we add the two together! :)
