What is the area of the parallelogram? A. 22 square centimeters B. 30 square centimeters C. 15 square centimeters D. 11 square centimeters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

oh ok thnx

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

i have another question

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

A parallelogram has an area of 288 square centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters. What is the length of the base of the parallelogram? cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np I'm in k12 and just did some testing just like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure I can try

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

yea i'm doing it right now

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

uuh math so HARRRD

OpenStudy (nayef):

Think about it: It is like a square> what is the area of a sqare?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24

OpenStudy (sepeario):

if you think this is hard, you are in for a hard time in the future :)

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

yea xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya lol

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so whats the answer

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

nvm

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

What is the area of the trapezoid? A. 72 cm2 B. 104 cm2 C. 136 cm2 D. 208 cm2 http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1564500_1565000/1564710/1/555b21750ecaff61e168c7f5fbf9ea805e9cc150/MS_IMB-1401012-1100607.jpg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol did u see it just to make sure it 24

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

oh i did now can someone help with this one plzzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't answer any more but the others will help see ya

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

i will medal

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

ok

OpenStudy (sepeario):

the formula for the area of a trapezoid is \[\frac{ (a+b) }{ 2 }h\]

OpenStudy (sepeario):

would you like to do it or do you want me to show you?

OpenStudy (sepeario):

oh a and b are the parallel sides.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

oh ok

OpenStudy (sepeario):

so can you substitute values for the equation? where a and b equal 9,17 and h equal 8.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so it....well i'm thinking B?

OpenStudy (sepeario):

Absolutely right!

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

AAAAAH!!!!! this is the first time i got it right xD

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

THAAANKS

OpenStudy (sepeario):

:)

OpenStudy (sepeario):

I think next time you shouldn't just look for the answer, like what the person above did, but you should also know how to do the question :)

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

Ooooo like how you showed me first before giving me the answer...ok

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

thnx for the advice

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

The area of the trapezoid is 75 cm2. What is the height of the trapezoid? cm http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1564500_1565000/1564704/1/4b3028631631a1a6d018d642611696b1709fa56a/MS_IMB-1401012-1100601.jpg

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

@MikeyMaximum @Mateaus

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

@SoullessEyes

OpenStudy (sepeario):

you know the formula, right?

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

well i think

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

i'm thinking like dividing it or timesing those 2

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

or adding

OpenStudy (sepeario):

substituting the values you already know, \[\frac{ 9+16 }{ 2 }h=75\]\[12.5h=75\]\[h=6\]

OpenStudy (sepeario):

i brb in like 15 mins.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

kk

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

so i'm thinking 6

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

since 9+162h=75 12.5h=75 h=6 but...idk

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

or it could be 12.5

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

@cutie529 @cutiecomittee123 @chrissyC.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

@Nayef @Nick<3;*

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

nvm

OpenStudy (nayef):

it is 6 cm.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

I KNEW IT THNXX

OpenStudy (nayef):

You can devide the complex shape into simple ones which are easy to evaluate their areas and then add them up.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

oooh so its like dividing them all or somethin

OpenStudy (nayef):

I mean to separate the simple ones.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

oooh ok i get it

OpenStudy (nayef):

welcome Lolipop_Drum312.

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

thnnnxxxx

OpenStudy (lolipop_drum312):

i got a...........AN 80 AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! *falls out* Amen!!!! xD
