Question 3:

The figure below shows a shaded region and a nonshaded region. Angles in the figure that appear to be right angles are right angles.

A picture of a rectangle is shown. The bottom of the rectangle is labeled 16 ft. The right side of the rectangle is labeled 8 ft. At the bottom left side of the rectangle there is a label that reads 2 ft. Inside the rectangle is a shaded region. The bottom of the region is labeled 8 ft and this side is perpendicular to the left side of the rectangle. The right side of the shaded region has a perpendicular line segment extending upward that is labeled 2 ft. At the top of this line segment is another line segment perpendicular to the right that reads 2 ft. At the end of this line segment is a perpendicular line segment extending upward that reads 1 ft. There is a line segment joining the end of this line segment with the top left corner of the rectangle.

Answer 18

:) so do i just find the area of all of the then add then together?

Answer 19

yep!

Answer 20

oh how do i find the are of the triangle

Answer 21

for a triangle, \[Area=1/2(base)\times(height)\]

Answer 22

5*1?

Answer 23

no, how did you get that? is that for the triangle?

Answer 24

i dont know

Answer 25

im not good at geomatry

Answer 26

ok we have the red rectangle, let's get the green rectangle
what is the width of the green rectangle?

Answer 27

10ft?

Answer 28

yes good, and the height?

Answer 29

1ft

Answer 30

great, so the area of the green rectangle is..?

Answer 31

10ft

Answer 32

good
now for the triangle. what is the base of the triangle?

Answer 33

10 ft

Answer 34

no you were right before, it is 1*10=10
yes, the base of the triangle is also 10

Answer 35

ok

Answer 36

what is the height of the triangle?

Answer 37

3ft?

Answer 38

yes, and remember that the area of a triangle is base*height/2\
so what is the area?

Answer 39

30ft?

Answer 40

or 40 ft

Answer 41

30 is base times height
we want base times height over 2

Answer 42

over 2 as a fraction

Answer 43

?

Answer 44

no, divide it out please lol

Answer 45

15?

Answer 46

good, so what is our total area?

Answer 47

15ft?

Answer 48

that is the area of the triangle, so what is the area of the shaded region?

Answer 49

?
