Just checking to see if this is correct. http://i.imgur.com/VRkkh9V.png

Do you mind telling me what you got for the bottom and top parts of the figure?
I just added everything together.
Yes, I know that. Then what did you get for each separate thing?
Er. Nothing. I just added it all >_<
Well you solved the area of a section and then wrote it down and then added it all up together right?
I did 4+4, then the sum of that +2 then the sum of that + 8 (which is the other 4+4) and the sum of that with 5.75
Can you find the area of this? |dw:1438203186061:dw|
4
Wrong
Not the best at this subject. Lol. :/
Area of a triangle is \[\large \sf A~=~ \frac{1}{2} \times Height \times Base\]|dw:1438203298442:dw|
How would you times 1/2 though?
\[\large \sf x \times \frac{1}{2} ~=~ \frac{1x}{2}\]
What? >_<
\[\large \sf 4 \times \frac{1}{2}~=~\frac{1 \times 4}{2}\]
Oh. So it would be 4/2, but thats a improper fraction.
\[\large \sf \frac{4}{2}~=~2\]
So the answer would be 2?
The area of the triangle with sides of 2 and 2 is 2, yes.
So confusing. >_<

Can you solve for the top section? |dw:1438203756317:dw|
