Answer 11

We'll make it into two rectangles. Let's find the area of the top one. 14*4=?

Answer 12

56

Answer 13

Right, now, for the bottom one we do 12-4 first, do you know why?

Answer 14

no why

Answer 15

because if you cut them into two seperate rectangles, the side length for the bottom rectangle will not be 12, so we take away the 4 which originally made it 12 to get the new side length, does that make sense?

Answer 16

I suppose that's a rather confusing explanation, isn't it?

no not at all

Answer 18

Ok, so do 12-4=?
