Help please!!!

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

The formu7la A=s*s gives the area,A, of a square with the side length s. Find the area of the square with the given side length. 1.s=7in 2. s=14m 3=2.4 DON'T WANT JUST THE ANSWER I WANT EXPLAINATION. if u have explained your answer you will get FAN & METAL. But if u just give me the answer you get fAN.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly do you not understand?

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

what it's asking me to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh. well for #1 for example you just need to do 7inches * 7 inches to get the area of the square with sides that are 7 inches long. So 49 inches.

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

ok thanks so with #2 i would do 14 m * 14 m and get a total of 196 m right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

ok thx u soooooo much :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Np. :)

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

that's was the best way u could've explain that for me :) your the best :) thank you so much!!!!!

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

@Lily2913 can you help me again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

im guessing that a no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, I'm just wondering what you need help with.

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

oh

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

ok so the next problem the formula A= b over 2 gives the srea,A, of the triangle with the base length b and height h. Find the area of the triangle with the given base length and height. 1. b=5cm;h=2cm 9.b=5.2 m;=3.1m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok in this one your dealing with the formula \[A = \frac{ b*h }{ 2 }\] so you just need to multiply your b and h values then divide by 2. for example #1 is 5*2 = 10/2 so A = 5

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

im sorry but can you please brake it down a little more if possible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, you need to multiply the values of b and h. For #1 the value of b is 5cm, and the value of h is 2cm, so 5cm*2cm = 10cm, then you need to divide 10cm by 2 which gives you 5cm.

OpenStudy (kweenlexis):

ok i think i get it now so for #2 5.2*3.1 which is 16.12 so you divde 16.12 by 3.1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it's always divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula is \[a = \frac{ b*h }{ 2 }\] so you only have to plug in your values of b and h which is the part that gets multiplied, then it is always divided by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are right for the 16.12 part, so now just divide it by 2 to get A.
