Answer 8

You need to divide it like this

Answer 9

Since we divided it the 8 will not be 8 anymore but the same as the side by it (4) correct?

Answer 10

And also squares are always the same length and height

Answer 11

So for the first little square it will be 4x4=?

Answer 12

4in.x10in. 8in.x4in. is that what i need to do?

Answer 13

No because we "broke" it into different sizes. The little square is now 4, 4, 4, 4

Answer 14

You understand?

Answer 15

oooh

Answer 16

so the little square is 16in.?

Answer 17

yes

Answer 18

I just saw the parallelogram part of it though so hold on, this might be wrong :/

Answer 19

and the big one is 40 in.?

Answer 20

Oh I am right, and no :(

Answer 21

blm1 you are ok. they tell you to assume parallelograms so that you can do just what you did.

Answer 22

so how do see the area of the big one

Answer 23

I know now lol I just checked my answer

Answer 24

Need, I think you did it correctly
you make two shapes you can figure out and add them up

Answer 25

So we already used 4 of the 10 inches up so what is 10-4?

Answer 26

We got this @Need_Homework-Help :D

Answer 27

wait

Answer 28

There are lots of ways to divide up the shapes.
