geometry!:C 'the length and width of rectangle NEHI, and calculate its area.'

AdoreH3r:

ShadowOfDeath:

Could this rectangle also be read as NIHE?

AdoreH3r:

uhm...maybe? i think soo..i don't know.

ShadowOfDeath:

It can. It still has all four necessary points. Look at the diagram at a closer angle. You know the length of one side. Which one?

ShadowOfDeath:

Well, actually, this one is quite simple. Study the diagram and see what numbers you have. The full length of line NR is 38 feet, correct? There is a side note that line IR is 8 feet. You only need line HI. What operation could you use to find line NI?

AdoreH3r:

i don't even knowww..i'm so bad at this.

ShadowOfDeath:

Haha, it's fine! That's what people on here are here for. So, to figure this out, you would subtract the 8 from the 38 to find line NI, which is 30 feet. Now since you know that side, you can solve this. 38ft-8ft=30ft Line HI is 5 feet 30ft*5ft=?

ShadowOfDeath:

Once you calculate that, there's your answer.

ShadowOfDeath:

Area of rectangle of NEHI is whatever the product of 30*5 is. The width, you know is 5, from line HI. The length is 30, from 38-8, from subtracting line IR from NR.

ShadowOfDeath:

Again, I could have mixed the length and width up. In that case, it's the opposite. L=5 and W=30

AdoreH3r:

ohh! okayy

AdoreH3r:

tysm!<3 C:

ShadowOfDeath:

Of course! Sorry for the late response.

AdoreH3r:

it's perfectly fine! lol
