@welshfella

Answer 2

wow she deleted me tag lmfao

Answer 3

draw a line EB
now its split into a triangle and a trapezoid.
area of the triangle = 0.5 * base * height
area of the trap ezoid = (height/ 2) * sum of the parallel sides

Answer 4

I sure did , only welshfella is being nice to reply

Answer 5

im was trying to figure it out sorry

Answer 6

Ok Thank you welshfella I now see the formula used to solve the area , do i use the coordinates ?

Answer 7

Its ok

Answer 8

you use the boxes to count the length of a side

Answer 9

count the lines to find the length
base of triangle = 10 and height = 3

Answer 10

so 3 boxes would mean the side is 3 lengths long

Answer 11

yea

Answer 12

ohhh Ok I see I see . :)

Answer 13

so for the triangle you would do 3x4=12/2=6

Answer 14

so from the height of the trapezoid is 6 and the base is 7

Answer 15

then the other triangle would be 6x3=18/2=9

Answer 16

area of trapezoid = (6/2) * (6 + 7) = 3 * 13 = ?

Answer 17

Ok quick question where was the four from ? from 3*4=12

Answer 18

i split the big triangle in half and got two smaller triangles

Answer 19

3*13 is 39

Answer 20

oh right you are doing it a different way from me

Answer 21

o.o

Answer 22

ya, im just spliting the triangles in half to make it easier for me

Answer 23

right so thats the area of the trapezoid
the area of triangle AFB is 1/2 * 3 * 10 = ?

Answer 24

15

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

ok so finally total area = 39 + 15 = 64

Answer 27

:D

Answer 28
