OpenStudy (steve816):

hi

OpenStudy (james.b):

@KylieAurealis

OpenStudy (kylieaurealis):

Aye.

OpenStudy (james.b):

OpenStudy (sooobored):

shaded region- i see 2 rectangles and 1 triangle

OpenStudy (dallascowboys88):

hmmm...

OpenStudy (sooobored):

Area of a rectangle \[A_r=w*h\] Area of a triangle \[A_t=\frac{1}{2}b*h\]

OpenStudy (james.b):

that doesnt really help

OpenStudy (james.b):

@kittiwitti1

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Just split the shapes into triangles and rectangles, and then calculate the area of each split up shape. Then add up the areas and you have your answer.

OpenStudy (james.b):

i have tried that and i seem to got it wrong and i only have 1 try left and then wht i get is my grade

OpenStudy (sooobored):

can you show us your work? might help us understand where you went wrong

OpenStudy (james.b):

sure hold on

OpenStudy (james.b):

OpenStudy (sooobored):

the way you divided up the shaded area doesnt make much sense, and your subtraction seems to be off at some places

OpenStudy (james.b):

so what should i change

OpenStudy (sooobored):

shaded area looks something like this |dw:1477596495158:dw|

OpenStudy (sooobored):

i would divide it into something like this |dw:1477596532789:dw|

OpenStudy (james.b):

ok

OpenStudy (sooobored):

you already know |dw:1477596585338:dw|

OpenStudy (james.b):

yes

OpenStudy (sooobored):

so what you need to find out now is |dw:1477596645863:dw| x and y

OpenStudy (sooobored):

please give your answer for x and y

OpenStudy (james.b):

|dw:1477596663250:dw|
