Solve for the areas of the different shapes.

Answer 3

@xGuardians idk how to. idk what im doing

Answer 4

For triangles, Area = 1/2bh
Rectangle A = lw
Use the coordinates.

Answer 5

how do i do that ? im really confused

Answer 6

i've never done this before

Answer 7

Look at the bottom left triangle.
The base is -6 to -8, which is 2 difference in the y
The height is -3 to -5, which is 2 difference in the x
Therefore you have
A (for that little triangle) is 1/2(2 * 2) = 1/2(4) = 2

Answer 8

so what would the area be ?

Answer 9

For that little triangle, it's two.
You have to solve for the rest of them like I just did.

Answer 10

@xGuardians so for the triangle above it would be 3 ?

Answer 11

Yes, @cicilynxox, for the bottom half of the triangle above it. Don't forget to do that little sliver above it.

Answer 12

im still so confused @xGuardians

Answer 13

this doesnt make any sense

Answer 14

Your just taking areas of the different parts then adding them up afterwards to find the total area.

Answer 15

im confused on how to find the area of the different shapes

Answer 16

You do what you had done for each triangle.
A = 1/2bh

Answer 17

so the bottom triangle is 2
the one above it is 3
the one next to it is either 4 or 6
the one of the far right is 5 or 7 ?
the rectangle is 24 ? @xGuardians
