WHO WANTS A MEDAL?

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

What is your question? :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Alright first we have to split this trapezoid into parts. Let me draw this out.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Thats what we have so far.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Now let's cut it into pieces.

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

I just numbered the 2 parts... 1 and 2 :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Okay sure!

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Solving for part 1: All you do to find the area is 10 * 11, so what is the answer to that? @daisyrainbowmist

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Awesome! Now that is the area for part 1. Solving for part 2.. First we have to do 19 - 11, which is 8. Then we do 8 * 10, which is 80. Now since a triangle is half of a square we would do 80/2, which is 40. Then we add the parts. So what is 40 + 110? @daisyrainbowmist

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Can you add 40 and 110? @daisyrainbowmist

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Awesome! So that is it! That is the area of the whole trapezoid!

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Hope this helped! Have a great day! :) If you see that I am online and need help with a question, just tag me in your question! @daisyrainbowmist
