misssmartiez · Answer

I know that I may do 1/2xb1xh+1/2xb2xh.. However, I don't know what to do first

Really? How?

I don't agree.

angel11828 · Answer

9*3= 
9*5=                      +   =

gottennis121 · Answer

Here's what I would do: 
3 x 9 = ? 
9 - 3 x 5 = ? 
Then add them together

misssmartiez · Answer

Why do you do that? Sorry confused....

gottennis121 · Answer

The three comes from the top of the figure. You must minus that because you have already done that part of the figure if you first do 3 x 9 to find the area of the tall rectangle to the left.

Sorry I do have to agree with gottennis121

You subtracting 9 - 3, then multiplying by 5

gottennis121 · Answer

12.5 x 3 = ? 
Then 3 x 2 = ? Divide by 2

gottennis121 · Answer

I mean divide the 3 x 2, don't include the answer to the once above it.

misssmartiez · Answer

Really? The lesson said to do this: 1/2xhxb1+1/2xhxb2. 

I got 21.75, is that right?

gottennis121 · Answer

No. 12.5 x 3 = 37.5
3 x 2 = 5. 5 / 2 = 3.5
Add 37.5 + 3.5 = ?

misssmartiez · Answer

41?...

gottennis121 · Answer

Hold on, there isn't an answer for that. I'm sure though. You multiply the base x height, then divdie by two for triangle.

misssmartiez · Answer

oh,

gottennis121 · Answer

3x 2 = 6, sorry. lol

gottennis121 · Answer
