Answer 5

@@FaiqRaees How do I screen shot ?

Answer 6

can you see a princt screen button on your keyboard

Answer 7

I only see prtscr I guess thats it

Answer 10

Once you pressed the button, go to paint and then press Ctrl+V

Answer 11

@FaiqRaees I got it now

Answer 12

Make a line from A till C

Answer 13

There's 5 unit A to c

Answer 14

@mathmale

Answer 15

can someone please help me

Answer 16

There's 5 unit A to c

Answer 17

To get you started: the lowest part of this poly is a parallelogram. How would you go about finding its length, its width and its area?

Answer 18

Would I count the squares or multiply l*w

Answer 19

It's 7 unit long and 5 units width

Answer 20

only 6 units long I mean

Answer 21

6*5=35

Answer 22

@mathmale

Answer 23

6*5=30 sorry

Answer 24

You'll most likely have to subdivide this polygon. The length of the parallelogram beneath the x-axis is 5. What is the height of the parallelogram? What is the area of the parallelogram?

Answer 25

3 for the height I divied in half by the dot in the middle

Answer 26

I counted down from c rather

Answer 27

I've looked again. I still see a parallelogram just beneath the x-axis. Above that, in the middle, I see another horiz. parallelogram. Above that I see a triangle. Try to find the areas of these 3 figures separately, and then add them together.

Answer 28

okay I don't know if this is right but I tried I seen the triangle up top and the width was 5 and height 3. I think it was a square I saw it was 3 for the height and 5 for the width lastly the other shape was similar to a rectangle it was 6 for the height and 5 for the width so 5,3+3,5+6,5=27. Like I said I'm not sure but I tried to figure it out

Answer 29

"I don't know if this is right but I tried I seen the triangle up top and the width was 5 and height 3" ... I agree with that. What is the area of this triangle?

Answer 30

15

Answer 31

I just said 5*3=15

Answer 32

that would be the area of a square of length 5 and height 3.
You want the area of that triangle, not the aera of a square.

Answer 33

8

Answer 34

Half of 15 would be 7 1/2, or 15/2.

Now look at the parallelogram in the middle. Length? Width? Area?

Answer 35

Are talking about the one that goes from A to C -2 to 3?

Answer 36

I've just realized that ACDE is a lovely parallelogram in itself.
Length? That's the distance from A to C. What do you think the height is?

Answer 37

Remember that a "height" must be perpendicular to the base.

Answer 38

That's the one I did I said it was like a square 3 height and 5 width

Answer 39

You are referring to a parallelogram. A parallelogram and a square have something in common, but are not the same.

What is the area of that parallelogram of height 3 and length 5?

Answer 40

15 or half of 15 is 7.5

Answer 41

That's the area of the triangle.
Beneath the triangle is a parallelogram, as we've just discussed.
Find the aera of the parallelogram.

Answer 42

15

Answer 43

Yes. i agree. What is the total area of the figure?
Keep in mind that you already know the areas of the triangle and parallelogram.

Answer 44

Area of triangle?
Area of parallelogram?
Total area?

Answer 45

112.5

Answer 46

Did you add?

7 1/2 + 15 = ?

Answer 47

actually I multiplied
22.5

Answer 48

That's right. That's your total area. Good! Any questions?
The trick here is to subdivide the given figure into basic shapes, such as square, parallelogram, triangle, etc.

Answer 49

Thank you, I hope I never have anymore of these questions, thanks again

Answer 50

THEY GET EASIER WITH TIME & PRACTICE!

SO LONG FOR NOW.

Answer 51

okay have a good one
