@phi
OpenStudy (phi):
there are 5 faces. the triangle face closest to us is a right triangle.
can you find its area using 1/2 base * height ?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
is the base byd and the hieght 10yd?
OpenStudy (phi):
you want the bottom line that goes sides and the line that goes straight up (not the hypotenuse)
OpenStudy (phi):
*sideways

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
so, 8yd and 10yd?
OpenStudy (phi):
8 goes straight up. which line goes sideways?
OpenStudy (phi):
you want the "legs" that form the right angle (see the little square in the corner?)
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
9?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
yes i see it

OpenStudy (phi):
what are the lengths of those two legs?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
9 and 8?
OpenStudy (phi):
the marked legs are the base and the height of the right triangle
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
6= base hieght = 8
OpenStudy (phi):
now can you find its area ?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
6 x 8 x 2 = 96 / 2 = 48
OpenStudy (phi):
why did you put in the extra 2 ?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
cuz sometimes when people like teach me they put in the 2 and then im like well i should do that for everything now.
OpenStudy (phi):
Let's go slow and find the area of just the one face, the triangle with base 6 and height 8
the formula is 1/2 * base * height
what do you get ?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
48

OpenStudy (phi):
base * height is 6*8 = 48
but now multiply by 1/2
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
96
OpenStudy (phi):
48 times 1/2 means 48/2 (it is not 96)
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
oh, then 24
OpenStudy (phi):
yes. next the "back triangle" is the same area, it is also 24
so the front and back add up to 24+24= 48
now we have to find the area of the 3 rectangle shaped faces.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
k do we do 48 x 3?
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
guess not
OpenStudy (phi):
I see a 9 x 10
OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):
90
OpenStudy (phi):
ok remember 90
now what is the length of the red line in the figure?

yes
OpenStudy (phi):
you are looking at a rectangle and the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal
what is the length of the red line in the figure?
