Question

Can someone help me in Geometry?

Answer 1

The most efficient way, in my opinion, is to post the question, and if no one answers, then you can tag people. This will give you a better chance to get answers faster.
People may come and go depending on whether they like the question or not.

Answer 2

Alright :)

Answer 3

Can you start by completing the list of the coordinates of the points, in order ABCDEFA (i.e. repeat the first point at the end), like:
P X Y
A -2 6
B -5 2
C -2 -3
....
A ....

You will need all of those numbers.

Answer 4

A = (-2, 6)
B = (-5, 2)
C = (-2, -3)
D = (4, -3)
E = (5, 3)
F = (1, 3)
A = (-2, 6)

Answer 5

Is that correct?

Answer 6

@mathmate

Answer 7

To find the area, do I have to just multiply all of the sides together?

Answer 8

Almost, but it's more complicated than that. But that's a different way that I will show you at the end.
To start and do it the "normal" way, we subdivide the figure into small areas,
- triangle ABC (base AC, height (-2-(-5))=3)
- triangle ACF
- trapezoid CDEF (top=4, base = 6, height = 6)
Do you know how the find the area of triangles and trapezoids?

Answer 9

Im a little confused...

Answer 10

Take out a piece of paper, and draw a sketch to see how the three figures can be combined to make the original figure. Pencil and paper are the oldest tools, but still by far the best!

Answer 11

What do I have to graph? Im not so sure what I have to get...

Answer 12

You will need to find the area of each figure (2 triangles and a trapezoid) and add up the areas to get your answer.
