Question

Find the area on this irregular figure. Does anyone know how to find it? Medal, Fan, etc...!

Answer 1

I have to go after this.

Answer 2

Alright.

Answer 3

We can cut it into 4 triangles.

Answer 4

one approach
split it into regular shapes. find the areas of the regular shapes then add all the areas together.

Answer 5

or 2 trapezoids

Answer 6

That is the problem, I don't know how to find the formula, I know how to cut it up, but not add it all up.

Answer 7

The formula of the area of a triangle is:

\(\sf A = \dfrac{1}{2}bh\)

Answer 8

That's what Google is for ;)

Answer 9

I did that, but thanks

Answer 10

XD thanks

Answer 11

So I?...

Answer 12

Hm. 4 triangles don't cut it, because we can't find the height of the biggest triangle.

Answer 13

doesn't*

Answer 14

I would split it into 2 trapezoids

Answer 15

then use the area of a trapezoid formula

\[\Large A = \frac{h(b_1+b_2)}{2}\]

Answer 16

Yeah, that's the only approach I see.

Answer 17

Jim, can you help me still?

Answer 18

I guess another way is to do it like this



but that seems like more work than necessary
