Question

Help o;

Answer 1

Okay, do you know how to find the area of rectangles and triangles?

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

Lxw?

Answer 4

yes, that's correct for rectangles.
For triangles, you gotta do base times height divided by 2

Answer 5

So, for the triangle on the left,
What is the base?
What is the height?

Answer 6

yes i didnt see wat it said and mb i was changing my juice wrld song o;

Answer 7

i recommend not listening to that kind of songs while doing math-_-, it's hard enough without distractions

Answer 8

Answer 9

where is the base and height at ?

Answer 10

terrible writing but-

Answer 11

but what your doing is not what im doing because im not doing a triange

Answer 12

yes you are, this whole thing is made up of a lot of figures, so one by one
Triangle first

Answer 13

8x12

Answer 14

no
What is the height?

Answer 15

It's 9

Answer 16

8x something

Answer 17

8x something

Answer 18

you don't need x for this... because you know the height

Answer 19

then its 8

Answer 20

The base is 8, the height is 9

Answer 21

So, what is the area?

Answer 22

72?

Answer 23

Remember please.. that for a triangle... it's base times height `divided by 2`

Answer 24

but its 2 numbers

Answer 25

?
You got 72

Answer 26

So divide it by 2

Answer 27

36

Answer 28

yes~

Answer 29

why is this taking so long? smh

Answer 30

Now, the rectangle that is in the middle...
What's the width and length of that?

Answer 31

9?

Answer 32

length and width

Answer 33

9 is width
What is the length

Answer 34

6?

Answer 35

Try again, look at the
rectangle

Answer 36

It's 12...

Answer 37

So the area is
9 times 12
which is?

Answer 38

108

Answer 39

Okay
And then for the triangle on the right

Answer 40

What is the base

Answer 41

This one will not be on the bottom, it is on the left

Answer 42

6

Answer 43

that's the height
The base is on the left this time

Answer 44

8?

Answer 45

8?

Answer 46

*********

Answer 47

As in, the left of the triangle

Answer 48

Is the base

Answer 49

The left.... what does it say

Answer 50

9?

Answer 51

yes

Answer 52

So, 9 times 6 is.... and then divide by 2 is...

Answer 53

What is 9 times 6....

Answer 54

27

Answer 55

i-

Answer 56

nvmd, you were saying after divide by 2

Answer 57

Okay, so, what is 36+108+27

Answer 58

171

Answer 59

Yes! So there's your answerrrrr

Answer 60

ty

Answer 61

yw~ lol

Answer 62

Ok so let’s start off with the rectangle in the middle.
The formula for area of a rectangle is b x h where b = base and h = height
The base would be 12 and the height is 9 so multiply those two.
12 x 9 = 108

Next let’s solve the left triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 x b x h. B = base and h = height. Multiply the dimensions by 1/2. The height would be 9 and the base is 8.
1/2 x 8 x 9 = 36

Finally solve the fight triangle using the formula for the first triangle we solve above.
The base is 9 and the height is 6.
1/2 x 9 x 6 = 27

To find the total area, add all the areas.
108 + 36 + 27 = 171
The area of the deck is 171 sq ft.
Hope this helped and please click a medal for me if it did : )
