Plz help I need sleep lol

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

i'm guessing this is about area

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Its geomentry

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay so i suppose i was right.... so do you see a connection between the first and second quadrilatera

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

quadrilateral*

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Yea

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

what is it (and don't say they are both the same shape)

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Lol ok, they are

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

-_- forget about the shape and look at the numbers... do you see any connection?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Yes

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

what is the connection

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Well one of them are ft and one are inches. and 1 foot = 12 inches

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay now make it easier on yourself and convert the ft to inches

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

hello?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

@hysusonic sorry i was doing somthing and i did and i got 16 inches to 1.3333.. ft

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

umm how'd you get that?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

i added up the inches and got 16 inches

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

so you think 45 feet = 16 inches?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

No im just saying thats what im doing rn

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

didn't i say we were going to make the 45 ft into inches first then continue?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Ok

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

so what's your result?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

45ft = 154 inches

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

i mean 540 inches

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

okay so|dw:1433902495049:dw|

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

right?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

yup

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

so what's the connection in numbers between the two?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

and idk if this is right but divide 540/16 and get 33.75. they both are inches

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

ummm why 16?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

5+4+4+3=16

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

with that logic, you would have to add all the sides of the big one and then divide by 16 and even then it would be wrong

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Iim sorry but you can be nicer about all this.....

OpenStudy (hysusonic):

sorry i'm a little bit angry from home stuff... so back to work, the connection between the two figures are on the big side

OpenStudy (triciaal):

I need to jump in keep it simple

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Plz do

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the walkway is the perimeter is the sum of all the lengths around the path

OpenStudy (triciaal):

on the scaled diagram the sum is agreed 16 ins now see that 5 ins on paper = 45 ft on the ground 1 inch on paper = 9 ft we have 16 ins so do the equivalent use ratio same sale

OpenStudy (triciaal):

*scale

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Ok, im still a little lost and theres a lot of people here

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Carry on, we're just silently evaluating you.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

never worry about the number of people on any one question

OpenStudy (triciaal):

where did you stop?

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

Gosh i hate when i have a brain fart. i get what you said now

OpenStudy (triciaal):

ok and this way the answer is already in feet

OpenStudy (geekfromthefutur):

so its 45 ft
