Need help in graphing!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im graphing it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need to fint the area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmath333 @math&ing001 @RhondaSommer @AloneS @Electric_Blue can you guys help me?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

its easy just divide the diagram in 3 triangles and i rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1455307620054:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

i hope u know how to find the area of triangle and rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess?.... lol

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

triangle- (b*h)/2 rectangle b*h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be the measeurments? Im confused :(

OpenStudy (phi):

you should put in the missing numbers. for example point E is at x=5 and y=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be for triangle AFE B= 5,3 H=5,6??

OpenStudy (phi):

I don't follow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused, i don't know what im supposed to put in for Base and Height

OpenStudy (phi):

You count lines or boxes. But it looks like two lines is "one step" For example, along the x-axis, it takes 4 lines to get to the label 2 so two lines is 1 step The easiest way to keep it clear is label the (x,y) of each point for example, any idea what the (x,y) are for point A at the very top?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (phi):

put your finger at the (0,0) where the x and y axis cross move sideways along the x-axis until you are directly beneath point A what label are you at (on the x-axis) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (phi):

that is the x value of A for the y, you move straight up until you are at point A. You will go up to 6

OpenStudy (phi):

so A is at (5,6) can you say the (x,y) for point E ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

E = (5,3 )

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

OpenStudy (phi):

for the triangle AEF, the height is from E to F (straight up) E is at y=3 and A is at height 6 what is the difference between 6 and 3?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

the curved lines represent 1 :)

OpenStudy (phi):

for the triangle AEF, the height is from E to A (straight up) E is at y=3 and A is at height 6 what is the difference between 6 and 3?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

all you have to do is cound the distance from each point except ot the \ curved lines :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

count*

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

make sense :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1455309001445:dw|

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

we are aware @mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

just to draw straight lines :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

you could also use the distance formula :) \[\sqrt{(x^2-x^1)+(y^2-y^1)}\]

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

just for future refrence :)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yea but in this case the length can be seen just from the diagram, no neccesarry use of the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

i know. "just for future refrence"

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

did u get all the lengths mely ?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

if you dont want to spend ours counting lines that could be easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill use the distance formula

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

glad to know it. however; for this one; you can simply count if you wanted to

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yea thats works too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):
