Answer 3

^ Yes your here (::::::

Answer 4

the area of the small triangle is:
A=(6*2)/2=...

Answer 5

12 but what does /2 stand for?

Answer 6

since, in general the area of a triangle is:
A= (base* height)/2

Answer 7

so 6*2 *1/2?

Answer 8

yes!

Answer 9

what do you get?

Answer 10

6

Answer 11

correct!

Answer 12

similarly, the area of the other triangle is:
\[\Large A = \frac{{base \times height}}{2} = \frac{{3 \times 7}}{2} = ...?\]

Answer 13

so its 27/2

Answer 14

\[\Large A = \frac{{base \times height}}{2} = \frac{{3 \times 7}}{2} = \frac{{21}}{2} = ...?\]

Answer 15

what is 21/2=...?

Answer 16

10.5

Answer 17

correct!
so total area is:
6+10.5=...?

Answer 18

16.5!! (: Yay

Answer 19
