Question

@Shadow

Answer 1

Area of a Rectangle: length times width
Area of a Parallelogram: base times h

Answer 2

the parallelogram is 12

Answer 3

would the answer be 87?

Answer 4

Where'd you get that number from?

Answer 5

So you used the hypotenuse of both triangles to solve for the length and width of the rectangle?

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

What did you get for them

Answer 8

12

Answer 9

and its a parallelogram

Answer 10

i did it as parallelogram and rectangle

Answer 11

I got 3.60555127546 and 10.8166538264 for the hypotenuse.

Answer 12

Multiply those two, then add w/12

Answer 13

okay im confused, i drew the two triangles to find the length and width of the rectangle and square thing, they arent part of the problem

Answer 14

Yeah, you draw the triangles to use Pythagoras theorem. Those lines are at a slope, so drawing a straight line and comparing it doesn't work.

Answer 15

okay

Answer 16

so was my answer right or no?

Answer 17

No

Answer 18

dang it

Answer 19

what did i do wrong

Answer 20

Say I have a crayon, and a pencil. I can slope the pencil so that it fits next to the crayon like so

Answer 21

That crayon may be 5 inches, but the pencil is longer

Answer 22

You drew the crayon (9) up against the length of the rectangle (which is at a slope). That doesn't make the length of the rectangle 9

Answer 23

okay, and i got 50.99999999998581

Answer 24

Hmm, round it to 51

Answer 25

okay

Answer 26

is that the answer?

Answer 27

Yes

Answer 28

okay and is this one right

Answer 29

The answer to this one isn't 51. It's the answer to the previous one above. If you have another question, open up a new one.

Answer 30

yeah i got that but thats what i got for that one
