Answer 4

Can you see the picture now ?

Answer 5

Number 6 right?

Answer 6

Yep.

Answer 7

So at first you divide the shape into two shapes to make it easier.
The top a rectangle and the botttom a triangle

Answer 8

then you get the are of the rectangle
and them the triangle

Answer 9

I did that... but I don't think I did it correctly...

Answer 10

I like what you did with the rectangle, that's good. When you got to the triangle part, you missed just one step

Answer 11

Oh. What step did I miss ?

Answer 12

rectangle=90 ft^2
triangle=180 ft^2

Answer 13

I got both of those answers for the rectangle and triangle...

Answer 14

you forgot to subtract 6 from 24 to find the triangle and then input to formula

Answer 15

When you did the base, you put 15 * 24, right?

That 24 was for the total length (The triangle and rectangle), you just needed the triangle

Answer 16

triangle=135

Answer 17

Oh.

Answer 18

so total=225
C)

Answer 19

I'm confused on the part with the 24 and 6....

Answer 20

ou know your getting the are for only the triangle

Answer 21

Oh. I didn't know that...

Answer 22

Oh for that, so you just wanted the triangle right? The 24 is both the rectangle and the triangle, as the 6 is just the rectangle

Triangle and rectangle - rectangle = triangle

Answer 23

So... 24-6 ?

Answer 24

Yep, that will get you the triangle

24-6= triangle's height

Answer 25

oh.

Answer 26

So then you use that height for the triangle, and do the same steps you showed

Answer 27

Oh. I get it now. Thank you. :)

Answer 28

No problem!
