plz help

Mikaela1509:

HaydenwH:

how many units is ur base. how many untis is ur height?

Mikaela1509:

uh.....

jhonyy9:

count the units of base and height and substitute those inside this given formula of area

jhonyy9:

@Laylalyssa any idea ?

HaydenwH:

i was helping put i never got a response?

jhonyy9:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @HaydenwH how many units is ur base. how many untis is ur height? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) good idea

Mikaela1509:

sorry my teacher wants us to do it a way that i don't understand

HaydenwH:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mikaela1509 sorry my teacher wants us to do it a way that i don't understand \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) how do they want it done?

jhonyy9:

what is this way ? please post it

Laylalyssa:

I thought u jus find the base and height and do the formula -no?

Mikaela1509:

it's like they want you to multiply base times height and then multiply it by 1/2 and it's really confusing me

HaydenwH:

lol thts wht i thought \_(-_-)_/

HaydenwH:

yea thts just the formula you are finding area

HaydenwH:

how long is your base? how high is your height?

Mikaela1509:

uh idk i'm not good at this stuff T-T

Laylalyssa:

isn't that like - how u do it? like count it or no?

Laylalyssa:

πŸ•³πŸšΆπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

HaydenwH:

yes lay

Laylalyssa:

ok great, so can you do the same thing to find the height ?-

Laylalyssa:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @HaydenwH yes you count the ones in the middle \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ik i was asking if she can do it

Mikaela1509:

I'm still so confused T-T but i get it a little bit better now tho

HaydenwH:

where ever the 'peak' is thats where you do your height

Laylalyssa:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mikaela1509 I'm still so confused T-T but i get it a little bit better now tho \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) ok so, you know the height right?

Laylalyssa:

bc we jus found the base

HaydenwH:

A=1/2 x 8 x ? once you find the height u can plug it in and work the equation.

Laylalyssa:

So count this to find the height

Mikaela1509:

uh.....would the height be 8 or sum?

Laylalyssa:

omy, no thats the base remember

Laylalyssa:

If you look at the screenshot I jus put, u can count those lines to find the height

HaydenwH:

the base was 8, the height is how many units up the triangle is 'floor to roof'

Mikaela1509:

uh 4?

Laylalyssa:

where did u get 4

Mikaela1509:

uh from counting up the side of the triangle.......T-T

Laylalyssa:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Mikaela1509 uh from counting up the side of the triangle.......T-T \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no, count where I put the lines, that would make it easier -

HaydenwH:

find the middle of the triangle, where the point is, and count how many boxes it is from ,the point, to the bottom

HaydenwH:

maybe darker lines lay?

Mikaela1509:

2?

Laylalyssa:

there u go

Laylalyssa:

Now plug those numbers into the formula

HaydenwH:

yes now plug it in and solve A=1/2 x 8 x ?

Mikaela1509:

so confusing uh um.....

HaydenwH:

which would be 8 x 2 which is?

Laylalyssa:

A= \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\times8\times2\]

Laylalyssa:

but do u get it?

Mikaela1509:

yeah sort of thank you for walking me through it and helping me:)

HaydenwH:

did u find the answer?

Mikaela1509:

uh not really but I'm working on it! #confidentlol

HaydenwH:

alright whats 8 x 2?

Mikaela1509:

16 UwU

HaydenwH:

right so now you multiply tht by 1/2

Mikaela1509:

16 times 1/2 is umm 8 right?

HaydenwH:

yes

Laylalyssa:

gOoD jOb

Mikaela1509:

so 8 is the answer?

HaydenwH:

yes the answer is 8

Mikaela1509:
