Can you help Hatrnn ^ - ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first thing you do is calculate the area of your square, and since all four sides are equal in length, it is 3x3 which equals 9 so the area of your square is 9 square feet, then since your triangle area formula is b*h/2 it is- 3*2.5/2 and following PEMDAS you get- 3*2.5/2 6/2 3 so the area for one triangle is 3, and since all the triangles are the same you just need to add- 9+3+3+3+3=21 so your answer is C.

hartnn (hartnn):

3*2.5/2 is not 3 actually.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

So it isn't C?

hartnn (hartnn):

nopes

hartnn (hartnn):

3*2.5/2 is the area of one triangle so area of 4 triangles = 4*3*2.5/2 = 15 add area of square = 9 there to get total area as 24 :)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Oh

Aww, thank you!!! I've been on FLVS and have used this a lot to help me understand the questions, so I thought I'd open an account and try and help some other people out.
