Medal for helping me with this problem.
@Daniel56k
Ok, so first let's use the pythagorean theorem to find all the lengths of the triangle. Do you know how to do that?
I'll try.
Remember, \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] Where a and b are sides, and c is the hypoteneuse.

He his correct with the diagram and formula
@malcolmmcswain i will give u a medal for that
6 2/3+3=\[\frac{ 481 }{ 9 }\]
6 2/3^2 = 44 4/9 3^2 = 9 Add them together. 44 4/9 + 9 = 53 4/9 Now, take the square root of that: approx. = 7.31
Anyway, now we need to find the area.
Do you know the formula for finding the area of a triangle?
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*b*h\]
Correct. So, we multiply: \[\frac{1}{2} * 3 * 6 \frac{2}{3}\]
which gives us?
10! :)
correct. However, we're not done yet.
we have 10 square meters, so if it costs $40 per square meter, how much will it cost us?
I'm assuming it would be...40*10 which would give us 400.
Correct :D
:O It's incorrect.
What? Hold on, let me see.
OH NO! I MADE A HUGE MISTAKE
I was calculating the area of this triangle: http://prntscr.com/9punaj When I should have been calculating the area of this parallelogram: http://prntscr.com/9puno1
I'm so sorry. ;~;
It's alright... I'll just have to find some way to get three in a row (khan). I'll have to start over.
lol I love khan academy
If there's any more you need help with, please let me know. This time I'll try to do better. :P
