try leading him/her to the asnwer instead of telling her.
xhikari:
when you find the areas of the individual shapes within the container. you'll add those together
Ethane:
ok
xhikari:
so we can divide the layout into a square, 2 rectangles and 2 triangles

so what do i do for 12 x 8
JamesTDG:
To solve for the area of a triangle: 1/2*(b*h)
To solve for square/rectangle area: b*h
JamesTDG:
B is base, H is height btw
Tonycoolkid21:
so what number do i mutiply
Ethane:
12*8

Tonycoolkid21:
do i multiply 12 and 8
Ethane:
for the triangle
Ethane:
triangles*
JamesTDG:
Well, the triangle's base is 12 and its height is 8, multiply them together then divide by 2
Tonycoolkid21:
48

JamesTDG:
actually, for this case, don't divide, you have 2 of the same triangle
Tonycoolkid21:
k
Tonycoolkid21:
so what do i do
Ethane:
yea then solve for the 3 squares
Ethane:
so 10*12*2
than 12*12
than add them all together you get your answer

wait first so i do 8 x 12 and divide by 2 i get 48n then what I do next?
Ethane:
no dont divide you have two triangles
bizaardvark:
is that my boi justin timberlake
Ethane:
so it will just be 96 for the triangles
Ethane:
so 96+240+144=

Tonycoolkid21:
wait can you explain step by step
Tonycoolkid21:
so start again
Ethane:
okay so you multiply 12*8 you get 96 then your done with the triangles
then you multiply 10*12*2 you get 240
now you multiply 12*12 you get 144
then you add all the numbers up
Tonycoolkid21:
480
Ethane:
there you go
