@eliesaab

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you check this figure the base is a triangle - yes ? lateral area will be resulted from the left side - what is a square and 3 triangles 1 on the front ,1 on the top and 1 on back yes ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

Um okay I just need to know how you get the answer.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. area of the square how you get ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

Well the are of a square you multiply a side by a side.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly - please make the calculi

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

please collaborate i like help you step by step

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

Okay is it 8*8 because I think that's side of the squares

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

after you get area of the square just you need calculi area of one triangle bc. these 3 triangles are congruent than you ve got these so just assume these areas and will get the right answer sure easy

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes will be 8*8=?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

8*8=64

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. hope you know formula for area of a triangle - yes ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

No

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but you need to know it bc. without not can solve this your exercise

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

What is the formula do you know

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

area of triangle = base time height divide 2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what mean there the base of triangle ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

So 8*22/2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes exactly so equal how many ?

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

88?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes so area of a triangle equal 88 m^2 and there are the same 3 triangles so what you need to do with this 88 ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

than one triangle have 88 m^2 area so 3 triangles will have area equal how many ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

just multiply the 88 by 3

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

Okay 88*3=264

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

what will get just assume with area of the square and have got the lateral area of this figure

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. lateral area of this figure = 264+64 = ? m^2

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

328

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes 328 m^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

hi will

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

flutter how you get this your posted answer ?

OpenStudy (will.h):

Hey Andrew

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

Hi @Will.H A calculator @jhonyy9

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

but this your posted result not is right sure please check it newly

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or please show your work here

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

will opinion please ? amorfide

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

@jhonyy9 its the bings calculator for lateral area of a square pyramid

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than you need drawing this figure right and not in this style

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

bc. than this wan being a pyramid so just multiply by 4 area of a triangle and this will result the lateral area

OpenStudy (fluttershyk):

No its fine I got it

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

ok. was my pleasure good luck bye bye
