Answer 5

okay look at what i wrote.
Area 1 is a parallelogram right?
So that means it has the same formula as a rectangle.
Area 1 = 10 * 24 = ?

Answer 6

240

Answer 7

yep :)
Now Area 2 is a trapezium which has the formula:
Area = (a + b )/2 * h
So Area 2 = (8 + 24)/2 * (18 - 10)
Area 2 = ?

Answer 8

278

Answer 9

18 - 10 is to find the height of the trapezium since we're only given total height 18 and height of the parallelogram is 10
So to find height of the trapezium, we do 18 - 10
