Last problem

Mez666:

Mez666:

thats all one problem

Mez666:

so long

AZ:

so how many sides does an octagon have?

Mez666:

8

AZ:

Good! The first part of the question is practically the same as the previous one We have 8 triangles each one has a base of 4 and a height of 5 what is the area of all the triangles?

Mez666:

192

Mez666:

wait no

AZ:

Not quite

Mez666:

80

AZ:

There you go! And that's all for part A

AZ:

For the second part, look at the shape of the triangles in your umbrella you have a triangle with a base of 4 and a height of 5 (remember that 60 inches = 5 feet) so which of those answer choices shows you triangles that have a base of 4 and a height of 5?

Mez666:

the first one?

AZ:

Exactly!

AZ:

and how many triangles can you make from one of those sheets?

Mez666:

I sereously don't know how u can be so smart and caring

AZ:

aww thank you :)

Mez666:

np

Mez666:

6 triangles

AZ:

mhmm now be careful we want whole triangles we can't cut those half triangles and then put them together that's going to be our "wasted fabric" that we're calculating in part C

Mez666:

ohhhh

Mez666:

so 5 triangles?

Mez666:

wait no 4 bc we can't put them together

AZ:

Only 4

1 attachment
Mez666:

so then 2 triangles would be wasted

AZ:

Exactly! And what is the area of that going to be?

Mez666:

8ft

Mez666:

or wait no

Mez666:

20ft?

AZ:

not quite remember we're wasting 1 triangle to make 4 and so we're wasting 2 triangles to make 8

AZ:

You got it!! Well done :)

Mez666:

THANK YOU!!!!

Mez666:

you are so amazing and caring and kind and pacient

Mez666:

I know this sounds weird but i enjoyed this

Mez666:

my math teacher isn't the best teacher

Mez666:

she just gives us videos to watch and expects us to know exactly what to do

Mez666:

I can't express my gratitude for you

AZ:
