Last problem
thats all one problem
so long
so how many sides does an octagon have?
8
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?
192
wait no
Not quite
80
There you go! And that's all for part A
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?
the first one?
Exactly!
and how many triangles can you make from one of those sheets?
I sereously don't know how u can be so smart and caring
aww thank you :)
np
6 triangles
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
ohhhh
so 5 triangles?
wait no 4 bc we can't put them together
Only 4
so then 2 triangles would be wasted
Exactly! And what is the area of that going to be?
8ft
or wait no
20ft?
not quite remember we're wasting 1 triangle to make 4 and so we're wasting 2 triangles to make 8
You got it!! Well done :)
THANK YOU!!!!
you are so amazing and caring and kind and pacient
I know this sounds weird but i enjoyed this
my math teacher isn't the best teacher
she just gives us videos to watch and expects us to know exactly what to do
I can't express my gratitude for you
It was my pleasure!!! If you ever need help, feel free to just tag me on to your posts like @AZ
