Do you have time, @AriPotta ? I'm not sure I can stay long enough to walk all the way through this one. It's the same idea as before...

2. AriPotta

o-o i can try

3. helpmeplz311

jake post the other link plz

4. JakeV8

@helpmeplz311 the key is to start either by thinking of the figure type or by noting the key words in the sentence... if it says something like "how far", that should remind you of length, like in all those 1-dimensional figures... "how much to cover" sounds like area, like in 2-dimensional figures... etc.

5. helpmeplz311

yes. did you get my new link?

6. JakeV8

@helpmeplz311 Here's the whole question: http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/50984e3ce4b085b3a90d5746 And here's the chart: http://assets.openstudy.com/updates/attachments/50984e3ce4b085b3a90d5746-aripotta-1352161866150-capture4.png

7. helpmeplz311

No jake, nvm, heres my other photo

8. JakeV8

Huh? I think you lost me...

9. helpmeplz311
10. helpmeplz311

thats the other questions. please?

11. JakeV8

I am still confused about what you need... the reason I linked the old question chart was for easy reference here. It doesn't answer it all, but it might help.

12. helpmeplz311

Oh. Hmm, I will try.

13. JakeV8

so, like in the first question, they want to cover an area 4 feet by 5 feet... It's a bulletin board... what shape is that? Sounds like a rectangle, right? So that's what you put in the blank for "figure".

14. helpmeplz311

ohh ok. yes,sir.

15. helpmeplz311

im writing

16. JakeV8

And I know you know the formula for area of a rectangle... write that in the formula blank.

17. helpmeplz311

okay.

18. helpmeplz311

w x h yes?

19. JakeV8

Yes, that's fine... or length x width, whatever... Based on that other chart, I would probably call this one "area", not "surface area"... I think the 3rd problem is going to get into surface area, so this one is probably just "area".

20. helpmeplz311

okay.

21. helpmeplz311

done writing

22. helpmeplz311

o key words cover the board?

23. JakeV8

Yeah, I think that's what they mean... what key words in the sentence help you decide what is going on for the figure and for what you have to find. I just ran out of time :( I really have to leave now... so sorry to leave you mid-problem. But just keep thinking through these in the same way... seems like you understand :)

24. helpmeplz311

Okay,tnx

25. helpmeplz311

help,kc?

26. helpmeplz311

i beg you.

27. helpmeplz311

what about units?

28. AriPotta

feet squared

29. helpmeplz311

okay,thank u 296:)

30. AriPotta

or just feet. i'm not sure what they want on that :/

31. JakeV8

what are the appropriate units for area? They have to be square units, right? Otherwise you are giving length... (and bye! :) )

32. helpmeplz311

yes. okay:/

33. helpmeplz311

tnx

34. helpmeplz311
